Lead Poisoning In Children From Arizona-Mexico Border

Mexican Population Survey

  1. What biological, psychological, environmental, sociocultural, behavioral, and health system factors are contributing to the high incidence of elevated blood lead levels in children from the community?

The studied population of Mexicans migrated to the USA two years ago. Their children were born in the US. The signs of lead poisoning in children display that it is not inherited but rather acquired. Amaya and colleagues have concluded that those are the result of “extreme poverty, lack of access to health services, social isolation due to language and legal barriers, and engaging in hazardous cottage industries” (Amaya et al., 1997).

  1. In addition to yourself, who should be involved in planning programs to decrease the incidence of lead poisoning?

Due to the fact that the contributing factors of the high level of leads in blood are diverse, the number of professionals must be according to the fields of knowledge each problem refers. Thus, from my point of view, the contributing parties must be represented by social workers, evidence nurses, local labor department specialist, hygienist, educators, and a specialist from the legislative department.

  1. What evidence-based interventions might the planning group employ to address the problem?

The variety of literature is available on the issue. The group can use the data obtained from the local hospitals and analyze the significance of the problem. Moreover, the group members can get ideas on the way to solve the problem by using the offers from scholars, and medical workers who have experience in this field.

  1. What levels of health care would be involved in addressing the problems of lead poisoning incidence and prevalence?

Since the issue of lead poisoning leads to vast consequences, it is necessary to involve treatment and prevention levels of health care. Moreover, it is necessary to remember that treatment must vary for adult, pregnant, gerontology, neonatology, and under 14-years-old patients. Thus, the health care personnel of all levels will be involved in the treatment and prevention of poisoning incidence and prevalence in the area.

  1. How might the effectiveness of the interventions be evaluated?

The effectiveness of the interventions will be evaluated on a monthly bases. Prior to the program implementation, the researchers will analyze the data taken from the sample group. After, the gathered materials will be evaluated according to the set scheme. If the results show improvement, the program will be considered effective.
