Development of Accession Quality Indices for the United States Air Force

Abstract

Analyses were performed to create and evaluate 2 indexes designed to track the quality of US Air Force enlisted personnel--The Cohort Quality Index (CQI) and the Diversity Representation Ratio (DRR). Both indices are risk ratios that compare the proportional representation of a target group to the proportional representation of that same target group in a reference population. The analyses to develop the indices were done based on the Qualified Military Available database (QMA). The CQI was used to track force representation across various subgroups of interest. The DRR was used to track the degree to which the Air Force meet its self-established diversity goals. The results of the report showed that the Air Force had easily met the accession quality benchmarks set by the Department of Defense.
