Quality of Life Measurement and Analysis (QUAILMAN).

Abstract

The purpose of the QUAILMAN Quick Reaction Analysis (QRA) was to evaluate the costs and benefits of selected Army quality of life programs. Quality of life (QOL) cost data was provided by the US Army Cost and Economic Analysis Center in thousands of constant fiscal year (FY) 96 dollars per soldier. QOL benefit data was drawn from several selected items of recent administrations of the Army Sample Survey of Military Personnel (SSMP) conducted biannually by the US Army Research Institute. Each selected SSMP item was related to some Army, QOL issue such as government housing quality. Each respondent was asked to express his satisfaction or dissatisfaction with that issue based on his experience. The benefit was measured as the percentage of respondents who were satisfied with the issue. Generally the SSMP data suggest that the overall quality of life in the Army may have declined recently while the quality of life cost per soldier has increased. Specifically there was a 10 percent drop in the percent satisfaction for the total Army population in the area of government housing quality over 2-1/2 years.
