- Suspected child and spouse maltreatment reports were evaluated to determine referral source for Air Force families. Suspected Air Force child maltreatment reports were then compared to U.S. national child maltreatment data to explore how referral source differed among the samples. The majority of child and spouse maltreatment reports were referred by military sources and child maltreatment reports were similar between the Air Force and U.S. families.
