Given that this is a research study, the Hurley lab may not be handling the results in the same way as they
handle other lead tests. Can the lab be contacted and asked about that, by someone on Dr. Hanna-Attisha's
team? If the results are handled under a research protocol, would the results be required to be reported
under the Public Health Code, or would they be considered confidential under the terms of the consent form
signed by the research participants? In other words, what does the research protocol and the consent form
say? | assume/hope the family would would welcome a home intervention, but need to be sure the research
protocol re confidentiality isn't being violated. If it appears that way, then someone on the research team
should get consent from the family for public health followup, | would think.
