The third column lists the number of Victims found by States using an alternative response system, while the fourth column lists the number of alternative response-non-victims. The fifth column lists the number of Unsubstantiated reports in each State. The sixth column marks the Intentionally False reports and the seventh reports the investigations that were Closed with No Findings.
