Technical Manual for the 1996 DoD Recruiter Survey: Documentation of the Data Set Preparation
Abstract
The 1996 DoD Recruiter Survey was conducted in response to Congressional concern regarding the quality of life of recruiters and the ultimate success of the military accession mission. The 1996 survey covers many of the same topics as the previous surveys in 1989, 1991, and 1994. These topics include: recruiters' perceptions of the adequacy of their training and preparation of themselves and their families, the reasonableness of individual recruiting goals, the stresses associated with meeting those goals, the level of recruiter out-of- pocket expenses, and the frequency of improprieties that occur in recruiting. The purpose of the technical manual is to describe the sample design and the methodology of the 1996 survey. In the manual are found an explanation of response rates, the weighting methodology, the design effects, and the procedures for estimating standard errors and compiling the sampling frame.
