- Abstract
- This manual is intended as a guide for municipal managers in performing a survey to determine the prevalence of lead based paint in their community's dwelling units. There are four parts to the Manual, each is intended for a different audience. Part I discusses the preliminary considerations for a survey. It is intended for the department head or executive who will initiate plans for the survey. It presents a managerial overview of the processes, the cost determinants, criteria for the establishment of objectives and the resources required. Part II is intended for the survey manager and the inspector supervisors. It contains more detailed information on the planning, staffing, training, and execution of the data collection phase of the survey. Part III is for the use of the person responsible for the control and management of the data collected and for the analysis of these data. The Appendices contain quite information about procedures we have used in previous surveys. These may be used as they are described or may be modified or adapted to meet specific objectives.
