*KAR amendments effective July 2004 increased the standard of evidence for a case finding to "clear & convincing" definitions of physical abuse and mental abuse removed "likelihood of harm" narrowing the definition of physical and mental abuse; and a substantiated finding is now entered on the Kansas Child Abuse & Neglect Central Registry. Any one of these items could have reduced the number of substantiated victims.
** In July 2016, the level of evidence for a case finding changed from "clear & convincing" to "preponderance". In addition to the finding level of substantiated, as of July 2016, another finding category of affirmed was added.
***In July 2018, FINA (family in need of assessment) allegations/reasons replaced non-abuse neglect.
