SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Marine Corps Safety Needs
Assessment; OMB Control Number 0712-LMSA.
Needs and Uses: The Defense Suicide Prevention Office (DSPO) has
contracted the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) to conduct a study
titled ``Assessing the Implementation and Effectiveness of DOD's Lethal
Means Safety (LMS) Outreach Materials.'' LMS, as defined by DoD
Instruction 6400.09, is a non-clinical suicide prevention activity and
process of ensuring highly lethal means of suicide or other prohibited
abusive and harmful acts are out of reach during times of increased
stress, when risk of such acts is heightened. Since Marine Corps
suicide attempt rates are among the highest in the DoD, with most
attempts occurring via firearm, there is a perception that existing LMS
[[Page 23415]]
messaging and training are not resonating with Marines.
In order to examine this trend within the Marine Corps and gather
relevant baseline data for the larger DSPO initiative, CNA, in
conjunction with the Marine Corps Marine and Family Programs Division
(MFP), propose the information collection, ``Marine Corps Safety Needs
Assessment'' survey. This voluntary survey examines current LMS program
awareness, preferences for safety devices and locations, and the place
of safety in Marine Corps culture. This survey will assist MFP in
identifying, from the perspective of Marines, the reach of current LMS
efforts and the acceptability of potential LMS activities. The results
of the survey will be used by MFP and DSPO to better understand which
LMS activities and messages resonate with Marines, as well as serve as
a baseline data for future LMS activity effectiveness evaluations in
accordance with the standards of practice framework prescribed by DoD
Instruction 6490.16.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Burden Hours: 2,262.
Number of Respondents: 9,048.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 9,048.
