We linked information on SLL at residential properties with children’s BLLs, grouping children based on whether they had pre- and/or post-remediation BLLs. Our data includes PII and we have a data use agreement that was negotiated between the Douglas County Health Department and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This agreement states that, “Upon completion of this work described herein, all Restricted Data records shall be destroyed or returned … within 30 days of the completion of the work. In addition, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol (UNC-IRB No. 15-1629) further outlines how the confidentiality of the data will be protected during analysis.
