BIRTH CERTIFICATE: Oregon Birth Certificate Database

The Center for Health Statistics (CHS) collects birth certificate data in Oregon. Oregon law requires that all vital events such as births, marriages, divorces, and deaths be recorded and registered. These are the legal records documenting a vital event and, in the case of birth certificates, are the primary documents used to establish identity. CHS is also responsible for compiling and analyzing the data from vital records. These data are used throughout the state and nation for program planning and policy development and are the primary data sources used for measuring many Oregon Benchmarks, Department of Human Services Outcomes and Performance Measures, and Healthy People 2010 Objectives. Data are maintained on all births occurring in the state of Oregon and are maintained in a client server for statistical analysis beginning in 1989. Information is collected on sex, birth weight, county, date, medical complications, and other information.

This point layer includes Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Oregon Department of Human Services' (DHS) Drinking Water Program potential contaminant sources (PCSs) identified in Source Water Assessments for community (C) and non-transient non-community (NTNC) public water systems (PWS) that were active in June 1999 (when Oregon's Source Water Assessment Plan was approved by EPA). These potential contaminant source threats are to be used in conjunction with the mapped sensitive areas to provide an overall picture of the susceptibility of the drinking water system.

BLOOD LEAD:  Oregon Systematic Tracking of Elevated Lead Levels and Remediation (STELLAR)

STELLAR is a software application provided free of charge by the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) to State and local Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPPs) with a practical means of tracking medical and environmental activities in lead poisoning cases. The intent of this application is to provide an electronic means of storing childhood lead exposures, medical, and laboratory data that the state program receives from labs, providers, clinics, parents, and local health departments.

In Oregon, STELLAR is a database that contains all childhood blood lead tests from 1991 to present. While the focus is children, the file does contain data and information on adults.  Data and information comes from all clinical laboratories known to the Oregon Childhood Lead Poisoning Program. Data and information is transmitted by mail and fax, and electronic records are through Oregon’s  National Electronic Disease Surveillance System - Electronic Lab Reporting (NEDSS-ELR) project.
