incidents (professionally or otherwise),
access to sufficient physical and mental
health services as a result of the nature
of their work, access to installation and
unit commanders, access to both
victims’ and alleged offenders’
immediate commander(s),
responsiveness of commanders to
Sexual Assault Response Coordinators
(SARCs), support and services provided
to sexual assault victims, understanding
of others of the process and their
willingness to assist, adequacy of
training received by SARCs and Sexual
Assault Prevention and Response
(SAPR) Victims’ Advocates (VAs) to
effectively perform their duties, and
other factors affecting the ability of
SARCs and SAPR VAs to perform their
duties. In addition, the results of the
survey will assess progress, identify
shortfalls, and revise policies and
programs as needed. 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: As required.
The target population for this survey
will be all SARCs, VAs, and Special
Victims’ Counsels (SVCs)/Victims’ Legal
Counsels (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 Office of People
Analytics (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.
