Abstract
Description
This year s national statistics were based upon receiving data from 52 States. Case-level data were received from 50 States, including the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; aggregate data were received from two States. Due to the dedication of State agencies, we are approaching the goal of receiving case-level data from all States. States continue to be provided with technical support to improve data quality. Each year, we conduct a technical assistance meeting for the States, at which they partner with the Children s Bureau in discussing issues related to improving data quality.
