Assessment of USMC Quality of Life (QOL) Program Contributions to Readiness, Performance, and Retention. Volume II: Pilot Test Results.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a pilot test of an integrated system for assessing the impact of Marine Corps quality of life (QOL) programs on readiness, retention, and performance. The system is based on the integration of program input data and qualitative data provided by program patrons/participants. Questionnaires to be completed by participants are characterized by brevity and comparability across a variety of programs. Individual questionnaires tailored for each of the programs are included along with analysis of the responses during the pilot test. Positive results of the pilot test show promise of a method to link specific programs to mission outcomes in the military. Deficiencies in program input and output measures are also addressed.
