States do not require all notifications of substance exposed newborns (SENs) to be reported for child maltreatment. However, some cases could be reported if they meet certain criteria, such as if there is also an allegation of child abuse of neglect or there is a risk of harm. Please note this variable does not distinguigh whether states have a separate notification system for SENs, rather it reflects whether or not all notifications are reported.
