* Trend states are those qualified reporting states that reported data in each of the years 1990 to 1994. As the totals are based on the same group of states for each of the five years, they may be compared across years. For the best National Estimate for a single year, use the values in Substitute Care Exhibit 27A.

† Known Outcome Percentages are based on all categories except for "Goal Unknown". Therefore, not applicable (N/A) appears beneath that category for this specification.

‡ One or more of the Qualified Trend States Totals reported for this question represent less than 30% of the Reporting States Total for the relevant population (Children in Care at the End of the Reporting Period). Use these data with caution.
