sensitivity and specifity of initial reports of risk for child abuse

["farhi" <farhi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Dear List Members,
I am looking for literature dealing with the sensitivity and specifity of
the initial reports of risk for child abuse -
maid by professionals and non professionals workers.

Meaning:  I would like to know if the very initial reports to the welfare
services of suspicion   for child abuse - maid by professionals and non
professionals workers turned to be truth , false , not accurate.

Thank You.

Moshe.
