2021 Academy Climate and Networking Study-United States Merchant Marine Academy: Executive Report
Abstract
The purpose of this executive report is to describe the statistical and study methodology employed on the 2021 Academy Climate and Networking Study (2021 ACNS) and provide topline findings for the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA). The Office of People Analytics (OPA), in conjunction with the Department of Defense's (DoD) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO), conducted the 2021 ACNS to provide actionable insights to inform prevention efforts at the Academies through a mixed-methods approach comprising an online survey and virtual focus groups. Results are designed to equip the Academies to continue to enhance and refine their prevention efforts in three ways. First, these findings will allow the Academies to better identify students who are likely to be highly influential in order to leverage these students in prevention efforts. Next, these findings highlight norms on campus that can contribute to risk of violence and harm; targeting these norms is a promising intervention avenue. Finally, these findings highlight ways to engage students that are more likely to be effective.
