Note. Bold indicates an estimate. The national screen-out rate,16.8 screenouts per 1,000 children in the population, was calculated from the screen-out rates and child population in the 30 States providing screen-out data, adjusted for the total U.S. child population. Screened-out referrals in the 30 reporting States were compared to the total child population in those States to get a rate of child-based referrals per 1,000 children. The number of referrals in the other States were estimated by multiplying this rate by their child populations.

a The number of family-based screened-in referrals was converted from child-based.

b The number of family-based screened-out referrals was converted from child-based.

cMean = 25.8; Q1 = 19.4; Q2 = 24.7; Q3 = 32.7.

d Mean = 16.5; Q1 = 14.4; Q2 = 16.8; Q3 = 17.3.

(Q1 = 25th or first percentile, Q2 = median, Q3 = 75th or third percentile, all of which were computed using functions within SPSS Statistical Software.)
