Unique means unduplicated. Individuals should only be counted once. Unique individuals should not be counted in more than one reporting period. Individuals refer to parents or caregivers. Parent is defined as a child’s or adolescent's biological parent, adoptive parent, foster parent, or stepparent through marriage. Caregiver means an individual, including a relative, neighbor, or family friend, who regularly or frequently provides care, with or without compensation, for a child or adolescent for whom the individual is not the parent. This individual may also be designated as a temporary adult caregiver. Discharged means the program participant is no longer participating in services or receiving services directly or indirectly through your program. Program participant refers to an individual who started a program. Successful means the program participant has met your program’s requirements, such as completing assessments or prescribed treatment, or participating for an expected minimum duration. Prosocial behaviors refer to helping, sharing, and cooperating activities that aid others and foster positive relationships. Reporting period refers to the specific timeframe covered by this report.
