Armed Forces 1996 Equal Opportunity Survey: Statistical Methodology Report.
Abstract
This report describes the sampling design, sample selection, estimation procedures, and the missing data compensation procedures used for the 1996 Status of the Armed Forces Surveys (SAFS) Form D-Equal Opportunity; this survey is referred to as the 1996 Equal Opportunity Survey (FOS). This report provides statistical background information for the datasets and reports of the survey results. The population of inferential interest for the TOS consisted of the worldwide distribution of active-duty Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard members (including Reservists on active duty) below the rank of admiral or general, with at least six months of active-duty service. Members of the National Guard and Reserves were in the population for the survey if they were in active-duty assignments (e.g., Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) and Navy Training and Administration of Reserve (TAR)) for at least 179 days. The main purposes of the survey were to provide survey data on types, frequency, and effects of racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination experienced by active-duty military; context, location, and circumstances under which the experiences occur; racial climate within the larger organizational climate; characteristics of the complaint process; and effectiveness of current policies/training designed to prevent, reduce, and eliminate racial/ethnic harassment and discrimination. The questionnaire for EOS was developed specifically for this survey effort. Data collection for the surveys was by mail. Survey development, administration, and datasets were reported by Edwards, Elig, and Riemer (1997).
