The Kennedy Krieger Institute of Baltimore relocated 50 families of lead poisoned children to lead safe housing. Change in blood levels for non-chelated children who relocated were compared to changes in a similar group who did not relocate. Relocating children to lead safe housing appears to have a statistically significant effect on their blood levels as compared to children who were not relocated but who were managed by the same program. Results of a statistical model that determines the effect of relocation on blood levels over time will also be presented.
