That will also allow the results to be shared with the Department and Congress in the DoD SAPRO Annual Report as they have been in previous cycles. Data will be aggregated and reported triennially in perpetuity. Ultimately, the study will provide a report to Congress and all of the data, programs, and computational details necessary for replication and peer review. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Annual burden hours: 1,667. Number of Respondents: 5,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Annual Responses: 5,000. Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes. Frequency: Every 3 years. The target population for this survey will be all SARCs, VAs, and SVCs/VLCs who are either Active Duty, Reserves/ National Guard, or a DoD civilian employee. The survey will solicit insights into characteristics of SAPR programs to better understand how responders are trained for their position and their perceptions of how well their program is supported and executed. The full online survey system will be hosted internally on OPA contractor servers. Participants will receive email communications notifying them about the importance of the survey, the confidential nature of the data collection, how the data will be used, and how to access the website. Respondents will be given a unique link and passcode to enter the survey in all email communications. They will receive up to no more than seven emails during the survey fielding. The reminder emails will be sent only to those selected sample members who have not yet responded to the survey or who are not active refusers. Once they complete the questions on the survey, there is a submit button to send their response. OPA weights the eligible respondents in order to make inferences about the entire population of SAPR Personnel. The weighting methodology utilizes standard weighting processes. Dated: June 16, 2021.
