COUNTS
Duplicate count: Counting a child each time that he or she was a subject of a report. This count also is called a report-child pair. For analyses where events and attributes of the
victims were examined (e.g., disposition type and perpetrator relationship).
Unique count: Counting a child once, regardless of the number of reports concerning that child, that received a CPS response in the FFY. For basic counts and demographic analyses (age, sex,
and race)

FATALITIES The determination that a death is due to
child maltreatment involves the submission of an initial report of a child fatality to law enforcement or child protective services (CPS).
Some deaths may not come to the attention of CPS. Reasons for this include if there were no surviving siblings in the family or if the child had not been the recipient of child welfare services.

PREVENTION SERVICES Definition: Activities aimed at preventing child
abuse and neglect. Such activities may be directed at specific populations identified as being at increased risk of becoming abusive and may be designed to increase the strength and stability of families, to increase parents’ confidence and competence in their parenting abilities, and to afford children a stable and supportive environment. For 2011, 46 States reported approximately 3.3
million children received prevention services.
32
POSTRESPONSE SERVICES Definition: Activities provided or arranged by
the child protective services agency, social services agency, or the child welfare agency for the child or family as a result of needs discovered during the course of a CPS response. Includes such services as family preservation, family support, and foster care. Postresponse services are delivered within the first 90 days after the disposition of the report. More than 1 million (1,113,702) duplicate children
received postresponse services from a CPS agency.
