There are several ways that CDPH is planning to use the risk model. Each method involves a variation on disseminating the risk score to participants in a young child’s life who provide medical care, child rearing, or housing and educating them on how to use this to reduce exposure to lead.For pregnant women and parents of young children, CDPH is using billboard advertisements to encourage them to request home inspections. The risk score for these homes will be used by CDPH to prioritize inspections.In addition, publishing and publicizing the risk scores of housing allows this target audience to choose low risk housing when they are moving or request an inspection to determine if there are actual lead-based paint hazards. Even when no hazards exist, a high risk score may prompt families to make other behavior changes that minimize exposure from exterior soil (e.g. removing shoes, covering bare soil) and water (e.g. flushing) and more carefully monitor the child’s diet to reduce absorption.For doctors and other health care providers, knowing the risk score for a child can allow them to provide advice to the family regarding inspections and other exposure reducing practices. CDPH is recruiting health and social service providers to facilitate lead-based paint hazard inspections by city inspectors when their patients who are perinatal women live in high-risk housing. In addition, the CDPH is actively trying to pilot an effort where risk scores are incorporated into a child’s medical record thus being available to the doctor during well-child visits.For landlords and housing providers, CDPH is developing a program of outreach and education. For large landlords, CDPH will disseminate risk scores for their properties and encourage them to discuss and negotiate a maintenance plan with the inspectors to reduce the risk of exposure fromcurrent hazards and avoid hazardous maintenance and renovation practices. For home owners, CDPH will use the risk score to prioritize free inspections; CDPH has funding to pay for remediation for poorer owners and residents, which reduces the chance that the family will be burdened by unsustainable expenses required after the inspection.
