In early 2014, the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office asked the RAND Corporation to conduct an independent assessment of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination in the military. This report provides initial top-line estimates from the resulting RAND Military Workplace Study, which invited close to 560,000 service members to participate in a survey fielded in August and September of 2014.

The Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office asked the RAND Corporation to conduct an independent assessment of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the US military. This volume documents the methodology used in the resulting RAND Military Workplace Study, which invited close to 560,000 service members to participate in a survey fielded in August and September of 2014.

This report, part of the Gun Policy in America initiative, describes the results of a survey in which gun policy experts estimated the likely effects of 15 gun-related policies on 12 societally important outcomes. Researchers use the results to identify where experts agree and disagree and where disagreements concern facts about the effects of gun policies that could possibly be resolved with better scientific information.

To assist the U.S. Marine Corps in evaluating its sexual assault prevention programs, the authors of this report identify and develop measures of performance and measures of effectiveness with which to assess the programs. The research team created a logic model framework to guide evaluations and mapped program goals to measures that assess the degree to which each outcome has been achieved.

This report, the second edition of an earlier work, synthesizes the available scientific evidence for the effects of various firearm policies on firearm deaths, violent crime, the gun industry, defensive gun use, and other outcomes. The authors highlight policies whose effects are better supported by evidence and areas where more and better information could contribute to establishing fair and effective gun policies.

Behavioral health disparities, in which socially disadvantaged groups-such as racial/ethnic minorities, women, and sexual-orientation ' minorities-experience greater risk tor certain mental health and substance use problems, are well documented in the general population. Less is known about whether similar behavioral health disparities exist among military service members. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) desires to understand whether the behavioral health disparities seen in the civilian population also exist in the military, as this knowledge is important to helping DoD target its efforts to address the needs of service members and improve force readiness. To investigate this issue, the authors examined (1) whether minority-group service members are more likely to experience mental health and substance use problems relative to their majority counterparts in the military and (2) whether minority-majority group differences in behavioral health in the military are similar to or different from those in the civilian population. The authors used data from the 2015 Health Related Behaviors Survey, the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the 2015 and 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and the 2015 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Behavioral health outcomes include mental health (e.g., depression, suicide behaviors, posttraumatic stress disorder) and substance use (e.g., problematic alcohol use, tobacco use) conditions.

This report describes analyses, using data from the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study, designed to assess the effects of sexual assault and sexual harassment on service members' decisions to separate from the military. Among other findings, this study demonstrates that more than 8,000 separations over a 28-month period (8 percent of all separations) were associated with sexual assault or harassment experiences.

This report describes analyses designed to identify how the sexual harassment of others in a service member's work environment affects his or her own risk of being sexually assaulted. These analyses draw on data from one of the largest surveys ever conducted on sexual assault and harassment experiences, the 2014 RAND Military Workplace Study.
