2014 Survivor Experience Survey: Report on Preliminary Results. Fiscal Year 2014, Quarter 4.

摘要

This survey was conducted in response to a Secretary of Defense Directive requiring a standardized and voluntary survey for survivors be developed and regularly administered to 'provide the sexual assault victim/survivor the opportunity to assess and provide feedback on their experiences with SAPR victim assistance, the military health system, the military justice process, and other areas of support' (Secretary of Defense, 2014). The Defense Research, Surveys, and Statistics Center (RSSC) within the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC; DMDC-RSSC) was tasked with this effort. The SES was developed as an ongoing survey to provide details related to the sexual assault survivor's overall reporting process and reporting experience and address areas that were of specific interest to the Department, including: awareness of SAPR resources and reporting options, use of and satisfaction with SAPR personnel (including Sexual Assault Response Coordinators SARCs), Uniformed Victims' Advocates/Victims' Advocates (UVAs/VAs), and legal personnel, use of and satisfaction with SAPR-related medical and mental health services, and leadership response to sexual assault reports.
