WHEN I REVIEW MY CLIENT INFORMATION REPORT, I NOTICE THAT THERE ARE SOME “ADULT” RECORDS IN THE “CHILD” AGE CATEGORIES OF THE REPORT. WHAT MAY CAUSE THIS?

If you have a primary victim of domestic violence who is a teen, you may have opened that client as an adult even if she was only 13, 14, 15, etc. She would show up in the “adult” column as a 13 yr old, 14 yr old, etc. On other occasions, younger children may be entered as adults if they are provided service without a related adult receiving service. If neither of these are the case, you may have data entry errors.

Run a Management > Client Detail Information Report for the same time period. Apply a Client Type=Adult filter and an Age 0- 17 filter to see the ID numbers of these clients.

Any client entered under the wrong client type is an error and should be corrected.
