SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Male Survivors of Sexual 
Assault--Investigating Challenges Around Seeking Help; OMB Control 
Number 0703-MSIC.
    Needs and Uses: Given the devastating effects of Military Sexual 
Trauma (MST) and limited information on male MST specifically, the U.S. 
Congress specified a requirement to improve the prevention of and 
response to sexual trauma affecting male service members in the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Pub. L. 114-
92). Furthermore, the Department of Defense (DoD) developed a 
formalized plan of action to improve prevention and response efforts 
for male MST. Despite these efforts and consistent with prior research, 
DoD reports found that active duty men are substantially less likely to 
report MST relative to active duty women counterparts. As part of the 
DoD-wide effort to promote help-seeking for sexual assault survivors, 
the DoN Office of Force Resiliency (OFR) developed and recently updated 
the Prevention Plan of Action (aka Prevention Plan of Action 2.0, 2022-
2024; PPoA 2.0). The PPoA 2.0 is a strategy framework leveraging public 
health science in military environments to prevent sexual assault in 
the military and improve response efforts. As part of this initiative, 
OFR commissioned this study (Agreement #NMR-24-11717) to investigate 
the help-seeking among men who experienced military sexual violence 
(i.e., sexual assault or sexual harassment). The present study 
addresses this requirement by conducting interviews with men who have 
experienced military sexual violence.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 23.
    Number of Respondents: 20.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 20.
    Average Burden per Response: 70 minutes.
    Frequency: Once.
