in Flint; Follow-up care, case management resources continue for families
Good afternoon, Andy ,
This is a public health surveillance report to show the tracking of blood lead testing in Flint. This reflects increased
screening and testing that is occurring in the face of increased public health and healthcare provider and researcher
responses, including Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, Dr Edwards, Reynolds, etc.
As in many public health surveillance systems, surveillance reports may serve different functions. This one is to simply
track the progress of testing and proportions of EBLs over the coming year (as you know, with seasonality, | am quite
interested in Q3's each year to assess impact of lead programs, and will not be falsely reassured by Q4 and Q1 data
points).
| would hope that you realize that surveillance reports, as this one will be, are regularly developed and this will be
updated on a weekly to bi-weekly basis through the coming months (years?). T
The issues of spatial clustering and associations with lead lines, etc have already begun to be ascertained by our
colleagues at Hurely and WSU, and | hope that those can continue.

Eden,
i support frequent updates. Mona and her tearm can continue to de the GIS work and track progress {or lack thereof} in
the blood leads. i think that overall, the latest data implies we are on the right track.
We can use the upclates to reinforce the importance of using the Hiters and bottled water that are being provided...
Kast Regards,

Hi Dr. Reynolds,
| just got done with an email with Mona---
This is a general public report that is high level--not a technical report, and was not meant to represent a
technical report. This is general information--of course our surveillance program is tracking by zip, Medicaid,
locality, etc.
We can discuss further what type of reporting may be useful to a technical audience---as long as not
identifiable (some zips have to be suppressed) | don't see why this can't be done (probably not every two
weeks like this public one would be)
Warm Regards,
Eden
Michig.

This is a good start but maybe lacking context . Would GIS software identify clusters ? |! am disappointed to
see, at this moment , thatDr. Edward's study and Dr. Mona's study which have more granular reporting are
given no credence. Is there a reason ?

Thanks.Done for the night.
Hi-
is this DEQ's? I know the ppb limit, which is 1S5ppb. I do not have the conversion on me-- but if I know who is
reporting the tests results I can find out!

Good evening. Can you provide upper limit for school water testing in mg/dl and / or ppb ?
Maybe I missed this information in scanning.
