“…Results for the first 5 steps of this procedure are shown in In Massachusetts, property owners are legally responsible for damage sustained to lead-exposed children. 24 As a corollary to the Massachusetts law, a requirement for obtaining housing subsidies is a certificate that the housing unit to be occupied is free of lead hazards; by 1994, more than 25% ofthe families receiving public assistance income were living in housing units officially certified as having had their lead paint hazards abated (E. Fitzgerald and S. Snyder, Worcester Housing Authority, unpublished data, July 1997). In each case, abatement of lead paint hazards as a result of legal requirements, as a condition for obtaining liability insurance or to qualify for housing assistance, permanently removes the hazard.…”

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the effect of an active program of household lead paint hazard abatement, applied over 22 years, on childhood lead poisoning in Massachusetts. METHODS: A small areas analysis was used to compare screening blood lead levels of children in Worcester County, Mass (n = 27,590), with those in Providence County, RI (n = 19,071). Data were collapsed according to census tract. RESULTS: The percentage of children with lead poisoning (blood lead level > or = 20 micrograms/dL [Pe20]) was, on average, 3 times higher in Providence County census tracts (3.2% vs 0.9% in Worcester County census tracts, P < .0001), despite similar percentages of pre-1950s housing in both counties. The ratio of Pe20 in Providence vs Worcester County census tracts was 2.2 (95% confidence interval = 1.8, 2.7), after adjustment for differences in housing, sociodemographic, and screening characteristics. This estimate was robust to alternative regression methods and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Massachusetts policy, which requires lead paint abatement of children's homes and places liability for lead paint poisoning on property owners, may have substantially reduced childhood lead poisoning in that state.
