What was the role of the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (EPHT) in addressing childhood lead poisoning as explained in the text?

Providing a web-based system for tracking housing risk factors
Funding research into new treatment methods
Designing new educational programs for parents
Developing new lead-safe toys for children

The correct answer is: Providing a web-based system for tracking housing risk factors

The correct answer is A. The Environmental Public Health Tracking Network (EPHT) played an important role in addressing childhood lead poisoning by providing a web-based system for tracking housing risk factors. This allowed for better understanding of where lead exposure was occurring and allowed for targeted intervention and prevention efforts. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe the role of EPHT in addressing childhood lead poisoning. EPHT did not fund research, design educational programs, or develop lead-safe toys.
