SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: QuickCompass of Sexual
Assault Prevention and Response Personnel (QSAPR); OMB Control Number
0704-0603.
Needs and Uses: The QuickCompass of Sexual Assault Prevention and
Response Personnel (QSAPR) assesses perceived reprisal or retaliation
to 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.
Dated: May 24, 2023.
