The followmg study evaluates the impact of a legal reform on child abuse reporting in the District of Columbia. A multiple time series design is used to assess and compare the effects of legislative change on the reporting behavior of two groups. The results suggest that reporting legislation can play a useful role in reform efforts by extending reporting requirements to new groups of reporters and by precipitating efforts to implement legal requirements of those already required to report.
