| Abstract: |
The purpose of this study was to determine if health care and court professionals were aware of the mandatory reporting requirements associated with the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) and the correct markers for prenatal substance exposure (PSE). Discipline-specific surveys revealed that approximately 82% of health care and 71% of court personnel were unaware of the legislation and that few knew of the correct markers of PSE.
