A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom examined the determinants of childhood lead screening using Illinois birth records from 2001 to 2014. The study found that older houses, which are more likely to have lead paint, pose a higher risk for lead exposure. The research also revealed that higher screening costs reduce screening rates among both low- and high-risk households. The study suggests that screening incentives could be cost-effective in addressing lead poisoning.
