Biweekly period

Reporter type

These composites measure the average number of reports received by reporter type in a

typical two week period in 2019 (overall and summer)

PRELIMINARY

Reports from school/childcare reporters remain low compared to the summer composite. This is likely the

result of fewer reports being made from camps, summer programs, residential schools, and other

similar organizations.

Recent increase in share of screen-ins containing caretaker substance abuse may reflect seasonal

pattern in this allegation type.

Note: Summer 2019composite calculated for biweekly basis from data from July and August 2019 and 6 mo prior to COVID composite calculated for biweekly basis from data from September 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020. Top allegation types displayed above, accounting for 67% of all allegations. Share is calculated by counting the number of screen-ins that an allegation type appears in and dividing by total number of screen-ins for the period. Allegations were only counted once per screen-in so as to not measure duplicate allegations within the same referral (e.g., allegations of inadequate basic care against two parents in one referral only count as one allegation in the chart above). Includes allegations collected at intake and during assessment. Source: NH SACWIS - Bridges data extracted 7/20/2020

% of Screen-ins that contain allegation (biweekly): subset of top categories Why this matters: COVID-19 may lead to increased incidence of certain types of abuse and neglect. Tracking

these data will allow us to adjust our practices and respond to these

trends.

PRELIMINARY

Frequency of lack of supervision is similar to the Summer 2019

composite. This allegation tends to be made more often during the

summer.
