What is the purpose of the maltreatment index?

  1. To provide legal advice

  2. To determine hotline call response

  3. To offer psychological support

  4. To calculate financial aid

The correct answer is: To determine hotline call response

The maltreatment index is used to determine the response to hotline calls, specifically for child protective services. This means that the index is used to determine the level of urgency and severity of a reported case to ensure the appropriate interventions and support systems are put in place to protect the child. While options A and D may be necessary aspects in handling maltreatment cases, they do not specifically relate to the purpose of the maltreatment index. Option C may also play a role in supporting the psychological well-being of children who have experienced maltreatment, but it is not the primary purpose of the maltreatment index. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it specifically addresses the main purpose of the maltreatment index.
