2019 Military Services Gender Relations Focus Groups: Active Duty

Abstract

Focus groups are one evaluation tool used to collect qualitative feedback from active duty Service members on the gender relations environment in the military. The Health and Resilience (H and R) Research Division within the Office of People Analytics (OPA) conducts annual assessments with an alternating cycle of focus groups and surveys, providing qualitative and quantitative data to the Secretary of Defense and the Services. The 2019 Military Service Gender Relations Focus Groups (2019 MSGR) report reflects the overall perceptions and findings gleaned from active duty Service members and Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR)/Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) SAPR/SHARP responders who participated in focus groups in eight locations around the continental United States (CONUS). Participants in these focus groups were asked about the culture of their installation and who influences the culture for Service members, the influence of gender discrimination and sexual harassment on work culture and morale, and how leadership and the SAPR/SHARP responder can better prevent and respond to incidents of sexual assault and sexual harassment reported by Service members.
