Note. aUnique, additional cases not identified by a preceding method or time of assessment. The unique cases value for CPS reports the total number of substantiated cases of child maltreatment occurring in the comparison condition. The self-report—initial visit value indicates the number of participants in the comparison condition who self-reported child maltreatment before participating in the study but who did not have a substantiated case of child maltreatment. The self-report—follow-up value indicates the number of participants who self-reported child maltreatment during the study’s longitudinal follow-up but who did not have a substantiated case of child maltreatment or self-report of child maltreatment at the initial study visit. The number of unique cases is smaller than the row total because the same participant could have experienced multiple types of child maltreatment at any one point in time or over her lifetime.
