    Needs and Uses: This information collection request corresponds to 
the project number MTEC-21-05-CrossCutting-012, funded by the Military 
Operational Medicine Research Program (MOMRP), awarded to the 
government partner Naval Health Research Center. It aligns with the 
Department of Defense instruction 6400.09, ``DoD Policy on Integrated 
Primary Prevention of Self-Directed Harm and Prohibited Abuse or Harm'' 
(effective 11 September 2020), which calls for research-based 
prevention efforts to equip service members to prevent sexual assault 
and related harm. The aim of this information collection is to collect 
feedback from military service members and behavioral health program 
staff on a sexual assault prevention program, Sexual Communication and 
Consent (SCC), originally developed for the U.S. Air Force Academy, so 
it can be adapted to be optimally relevant for additional service 
member and training academy audiences. This formative research is part 
of a larger collaborative study being conducted by RTI, Naval Health 
Research Center, and San Diego State University. The objective of the 
study is to modify and evaluate the cross-cutting effectiveness of the 
SCC program for service members when it is combined with an existing 
alcohol misuse prevention tool. As there are demonstrated associations 
between sexual assault and alcohol misuse for both perpetrators and 
victims of sexual assault, combining efforts derived from proven 
programs to prevent sexual assault and alcohol misuse has the potential 
to enhance program effectiveness and impact exponentially. The 
formative research for this specific information collection will lay 
the groundwork for future adaptation of the integrated sexual assault 
and alcohol misuse prevention training in additional military settings. 
Therefore, it is critical to maximizing the effectiveness of the 
integrated program. Respondents will include active duty Sailors and 
Marines, cadets from the United States Military Academy (USMA), and 
active duty leaders and program staff from sexual assault prevention 
and alcohol misuse prevention programs at Navy and Marine Corps sites, 
as well as USMA. This data collection effort includes focus groups and 
a brief survey for young enlisted personnel (N = 60), and in-depth 
interviews with military leaders and sexual assault and alcohol misuse 
prevention program staff members (N = 24) for a total sample of 84 
individuals. The focus group questions solicit perspectives and 
recommendations for improving sexual assault and alcohol misuse 
prevention trainings in which they've previously participated, unique 
environmental factors related to sexual assault or alcohol misuse, 
relevance, and interest level of sample content from the integrated 
sexual assault and alcohol misuse training program. The brief survey 
supplements the focus group discussion by asking participants to 
quantitatively rate the sample material from the program shown in the 
focus group and provide demographic information that will be used to 
describe the sample. All focus group participants will be asked to 
complete the brief survey during the focus group session. The in-depth 
interviews query leaders and program staff perceptions of existing 
sexual assault and alcohol misuse prevention training, recommendations 
for improving existing programs, unique environmental factors related 
to sexual assault or alcohol misuse, and organizational perspectives on 
program implementation.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
