Military workplace survey to gauge sexual assault, harassment
Stars and Stripes reports:
A biennial survey that tracks sexual harassment, sexual assault and other workplace issues in the U.S. military is being conducted on behalf of the Defense Department.
About 580,000 servicemembers have begun receiving emails or letters by post inviting them to participate in the confidential, web–based RAND Military Workplace Study, Defense Department officials announced Tuesday.
It’s the first time the RAND Corp., a federally funded research and development center, has conducted the workplace and gender relations survey. DOD in 2006 began surveying the active and reserve components to estimate the extent of sexual assault in the military.
