SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Understanding Service
Member Experiences with Family Planning; OMB Control Number 0704-SMFP.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 4,800.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 4,800.
Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
Annual Burden Hours: 4,800 hours.
Needs and Uses: Building on prior experience executing the DoD
Women's Reproductive Health Survey and other research on the health and
health behaviors of service members (e.g., the Health Related Behaviors
Survey), RAND National Defense Research Institute will conduct a series
of focus groups with men and women across DoD service branches (Air
Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Space Force) to augment this
survey data and better understand how service members experience family
planning both within the Military Health System and via community
providers. These focus groups will also gather information on service
members' experiences with any new policies related to reproductive
health.
This study will highlight areas related to family planning that may
threaten DoDs ability to field a ready and lethal force. It will also
point to areas where DoD may need to augment or develop care, programs,
services, or policies that provide needed reproductive health care and
family planning services to the force in order to maintain and enhance
health, readiness, retention, and lethality.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
Dated: January 23, 2026.
