SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Personalized Web-Based 
Sexual Assault Prevention for Service Members; OMB Control Number 0703-
0080.
    Needs and Uses: The aim of this study is to assist in the 
adaptation of an existing web-based sexual assault prevention program 
for college men and women, for use among the Navy population. To 
achieve this aim, data will be collected in several ways and 
respondents will participate in only one type of data collection. 
First, responses to a normative survey will provide information about 
the behavior and attitudes of Sailors regarding alcohol use and sexual 
assault. Next, focus groups and interviews will be conducted to obtain 
feedback about the content of the intervention and ways to adapt it for 
Sailors. Interviewees and focus group respondents will be selected 
based on their drinking habits, which will be determined by a brief 
pre-interview/focus group survey. All data are anonymous, meaning that 
there is no way for us to match any personally identifiable information 
of any participant to their survey responses. After interview/focus 
group completion, a post-interview/focus group survey will be given to 
obtain non-personally-identifiable demographic and alcohol use 
information to be used as descriptive information, as well as data from 
standardized measures that assess respondents' opinions of the existing 
intervention. All surveys will be completed via a HIPAA compliant 
software. Data from these surveys will be incorporated into the 
intervention content and will help generate an adapted prototype of the 
sexual assault prevention program (+Change) for Sailors.
    The results of these surveys will impact the Department of the Navy 
by documenting the feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, and 
utility of a multi-pronged, individually tailored, and easily 
distributed prevention program that addresses the large problem of 
sexual assault, and the associated effects of alcohol for Sailors. In 
the long-term, this research benefits the readiness of the force by 
producing an easily disseminated high-quality sexual assault prevention 
program that can be implemented in multiple military settings and 
sustain evaluation in a larger clinical trial. This research can also 
have a secondary impact on reducing hazardous alcohol use among service 
members and can prevent the occurrence of alcohol use problems and 
associated negative health sequelae in service members. These long-term 
objectives are consistent with both DoD and the national public health 
priorities.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
