Sample size changes from Model 1 to Model 2 because some of the variables in Model 2 come from parent interviews and some parents were unavailable or refused to be interviewed. All variables in Model 1 come from the case record. The small decrease from Model 2 to Model 3 is due to missing data on the caseworker’s estimate of abuse in the subsequent 12 months if the family receives no services.
