Unstandardized regression coefficients predicting Ln(BLL – 0.5) from census-block group prediction equation and self-report variables, assuming that missing responses are tantamount to “yes” (i.e., risk suggestive) and by multiple random imputation: Michigan, October 2001–January 2003^a

^aData on BLL and all variables contributing to the prediction score are from the Michigan Department of Community Health clinical registry. Other data are from the researchers' survey.

^bThe BLL multiplier is the anti-logarithm of the regression coefficient. It is equal to e^B, where e is the base of natural logarithms.

^cp<0.001

^dp<0.01

BLL = blood lead level

CDC = Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

SE = standard error
