The Wisconsin Health Information Organization (WHIO) is pleased to provide a new report, InfoByte: Childhood Lead Exposure in Wisconsin. Detectable lead levels in the blood have the potential to harm individuals, especially young children. Among other facts, this InfoByte provides information on the relationship between abnormal lead levels and housing structures to add to the growing body of information on the factors that influence exposure to lead in Wisconsin.
The WHIO is Wisconsin’s All-Payer Claims Data organization dedicated to better health, health care and health care value in Wisconsin. The WHIO includes data on about 4.9 million insured lives voluntarily contributed by WI insurers, employers, and the Medicaid program.
