The purpose of this program is to develop surveillance capacity to aid in preventing, and ultimately, eliminating childhood lead poisoning as a major public health problem in Colorado. The program encompasses a wide range of public health activities, including case surveillance through laboratory test reporting, data management and system improvement, partnership and stakeholder engagement, community care coordination, enhanced analysis to identify at-risk geographies and populations, and targeted outreach and prevention strategies for those at highest risk for lead poisoning. The program performs outreach and prevention strategies, including in-home environmental investigations to identify sources of lead when test results indicate high blood lead levels (BLLs). The program is responsible for ensuring blood lead testing and reporting, enhancing blood lead surveillance, improving linkages to recommended services and developing policies for targeted, population-based interventions with a focus on community-based approaches for lead hazard elimination. CCLPPP responsibilities include sustaining a statewide Lead Advisory Committee, maintaining a blood lead surveillance system that tracks all blood lead test results and follow-up data on children with elevated blood lead levels including environmental source investigations and referrals to recommended services, conducting analyses of surveillance data to identify lead-exposed children, high-risk populations, and geographic areas, and partnering with programs and organizations that provide services to mitigate the effects of elevated blood lead levels.

This position also provides guidance to local public health agencies and clinicians related to reporting requirements and how data is used to provide follow-up services, and educate others in the environmental investigation requirements and follow-up process. This position applies quality control measures and evaluates data for compliance with regulations, requirements, and engages reporters to achieve and maintain compliance.
Key Responsibilities:
The role involves collaboration with various stakeholders to develop and implement strategies that enhance the quality and impact of education and outreach activities, improve blood lead testing and reporting rates.
Provide direct blood lead testing to children and adults through community-based testing activities and train program staff to preform blood lead testing procedures.
Following an established protocol, process elevated blood lead level (EBLL) results from weekly surveillance.
Applies methods/ processes to determine whether data meet overall quality goals and defined quality criteria for individual values.
