Lead in Warren County Homes Study

The purpose of this study is to find better ways to keep people, especially kids, safe from lead in their homes. Lead is a dangerous metal that can harm the brain and body, even in small amounts. It's still found in many older homes, especially in paint/dust, soil, and drinking water. Getting a professional to test for lead can cost a lot of money and isn't always easy to do. Because of this, some families, especially in low-income and historically overlooked communities, may not know if their homes are safe. There are new, low-cost tools like test strips that let people test their homes themselves. This study is trying to find out how well these tools work and how easy they are for people to use.
