Centralized CPS Reporting

["Margaret Ayers" <ayers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to figure out how many states have centralized reporting and
screening of child protection reports.  I am not looking at hotlines that
supplement primarily local receipt of reports.  Instead, I am looking for
the number of states with a single statewide phone number that all reporters
call to make reports, and that has workers screening the reports (whether or
not they do investigations as well).

Does anybody know of any study or other resource where this has been
tallied?  I have tried the OCAN Clearinghouse, NAPCWA, and a few other leads
but haven't found anything yet.

Please feel free to reply to me directly.

Thank you.
