SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Survey on the Strengths and
Challenges of Military Relationships; OMB Control Number 0704-SCMR.
Needs and Uses: This collection is a DoD-sponsored comprehensive
research study on the military-specific risk factors for domestic abuse
and the best approaches across the coordinated community response to
mitigate those factors. This collection is necessary to identify
sustainable solutions to decreasing incidents and preventing violence
before it occurs. This project is required by statute and will support
(a) the programmatic needs of the sponsoring office: The Family
Advocacy Program with Military Community and Family Policy, (b)
Congressional requirements per SEC. 549C of the FY21 National Defense
Authorization Act, (c) the current administration's priority to address
gender-based violence, and (d) implementation of some recommendations
contained in the U.S. Government Accountability Office Report 21-289,
released May 6, 2021.
Domestic abuse can result in devastating personal consequences and
societal costs, is incompatible with military values, and reduces
mission readiness. The (OUSD(P&R)) Strategy for 2030 identifies a goal
of resilient and adaptive total force. Without this study, the DoD
risks continued incidents of domestic abuse across the armed forces.
This survey will be fielded with active-duty married service members,
active-duty unmarried service members in romantic relationships, and
spouses of active-duty service members. Respondents will provide
information, currently not available from other sources, to help DoD
understand the strengths and challenges facing military couples, and in
particular, the risk factors for and outcomes of military domestic
abuse. Survey results will be used by the sponsor to improve the
domestic abuse prevention and response system to better serve the needs
of today's military couples.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 20,000.
Number of Respondents: 80,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 80,000.
Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Frequency: Once.
Dated: May 24, 2022.
