SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Recruit Assessment Program;
OMB Control Number 0703-MRAP.
Needs And Uses: The Recruit Assessment Program (RAP) is a DoD-
sponsored program for routine collection of baseline demographic,
physical, psychological, environmental, and behavioral health data from
recruits at Marine Corps Recruit Depots. While many other military
surveys examine the health and well-being of service members, the RAP
collects voluntary self-reported pre-military health data. These data
are essential for: (1) Allowing researchers to examine and distinguish
contributions of pre-military vs. military factors that influence
service member health and career outcomes; (2) the development of early
intervention programs to improve service member health and enhance
career success; and (3) the examination of health trends across waves
of military recruits over time. Understanding these factors contributes
towards the development of health policy as well as recruiting and
retention initiatives.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 24,266.7.
Number of Respondents: 41,600.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 41,600.
Average Burden Per Response: 35 minutes.
Frequency: Once per respondent.
During the first week of boot camp, drill instructors escort
recruits to a classroom setting to be supervised by RAP administrators
for the next hour. Administrators provide recruits with a paper copy of
the RAP survey, which includes consent forms, privacy, and HIPAA
rights. Recruits receive a briefing about the purpose and voluntary
nature of the survey as well as investigator contact information if
they want to withdraw their consent later or have further questions.
Administrators guide recruits through the consent, HIPAA and
demographic portions of the survey using a PowerPoint presentation as a
visual aid. The survey takes approximately 35 minutes to complete in
total. After survey completion, administrators provide instructions on
dismissal procedures. Administrators turn recruits over to their drill
instructors and recruits return surveys to administrators as they exit
the classroom.
