What is The Office of People Analytics (OPA)? Top

• In 2016, the Department of Defense (DoD) established the The Office of People Analytics (OPA) to utilize big-data analytics to better understand key components of Service members’ career paths, and how policy or environmental changes affect the performance and composition of the DoD workforce.  OPA provides go-to expertise for scientific assessments, data analytics, and problem solving to improve the lives of the DoD community.

• OPA conducts Joint-Service surveys including the Status of Forces Surveys, QuickCompass Surveys, and Health and Resilience (H&R) Surveys for the DoD.

What is the QuickCompass Program? Top

• QuickCompass is a DoD personnel program that features web-based surveys sponsored by the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD[P&R]).

• These surveys enable DoD to regularly assess the attitudes and opinions of the DoD community, including active duty and Reserve component members, on the full range of personnel issues.

• The Health and Resilience (H&R) Research Center supports the well-being of all members of the DoD community by providing in-depth research and analysis to inform policy makers on topics that impact resiliency, such as gender relations and equal opportunity.

• H&R provides the Department with fast, accurate assessments of the attitudes and opinions of the entire DoD community to evaluate existing programs and policies, establish baseline measures before implementing new programs and policies, and monitor progress of programs and policies and their effects on the Total Force.

How do I know this is an official, approved DoD survey? Top

• The public reporting burden for this collection of information, OMB Control Number 0704-0603 Expiring XX/XX/XXXX, is estimated to average 20 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding the burden estimate or burden reduction suggestions to the Department of Defense, Washington Headquarters Services, at whs.mc-alex.esd.mbx.dd-dod-information-collections@mail.mil. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

How did you pick me? Top

• All Sexual Assault Response and Prevention (SAPR) certified Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARC), Victim Advocates (VA), Special Victims’ Counsel (SVC), Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC), and Special Victims Paralegals (SVP) in the DoD (active duty, National Guard/Reserve, and civilian) were selected to participate in this study.

Why should I participate? Top

• This is your chance to be heard on issues that directly affect you, including your background, training, and perceptions of your Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) program.

• Your responses on this survey make a difference.

What is dodhra.mc-alex.dmdc.mbx.qcsurvey@mail.mil? Top

• The official e-mail address for communicating with Sexual Assault Response Coordinators (SARC), Victims’ Advocates (VA), Special Victims’ Counsel (SVC), Victims’ Legal Counsel (VLC), and Special Victims’ Paralegals (SVP) about QuickCompass.  "dodhra.mc-alex.dmdc.mbx.qcsurvey@mail.mil " is short for QuickCompass Survey.

Why am I being asked to use the web? Top

• Web administration enables us to get survey results to senior Defense leaders faster. 

Why are you using a .com instead of a .mil domain to field your survey? Top

• The survey is administered by our contractor, Fors Marsh Group, an experienced survey operations company.  This allows everyone to access the survey, even from a non-government computer. 

Do I have to answer all questions? Top

• No, it is not necessary to answer every question.  Within the survey screen, you have two control buttons:  Continue >> and << Back.  Use these buttons to navigate through the survey or skip questions.  If you wish to complete the survey at a later time, simply close out of the window.  When you return to the survey website, enter your Ticket Number to get to the place in the survey where you had stopped.

Why does the survey ask personal questions? Top

• OPA reports overall results, as well as by other characteristics, such as race (minority/not minority), gender, etc.  To complete these analyses, we must ask demographic information from respondents.

• Analyzing results in this way provides Defense leaders information about the attitudes and concerns of all subgroups of personnel so that no groups are overlooked.

Will my answers be kept private? Top

• The survey is confidential. All data will be reported in the aggregate and no individual data will be reported. 

• We encourage you to safeguard your Ticket Number to prevent unauthorized access to your survey.  In addition, to ensure your privacy, be aware of the environment in which you take the survey (e.g., take the survey when no one else is home, take care to not leave the survey unattended).

• If you answer any items in such a way that you indicate distress or being upset, etc., you will not be contacted for follow-up purposes.  However, if you indicate a direct threat to harm yourself or others within responses or communications about the survey, because of concern for your welfare, OPA may notify an office in your area for appropriate action.

Can I withdraw my answers once I have started the survey? Top

• If you wish to withdraw your answers, please notify the Survey Processing Center prior to July 02, 2021 by sending an e-mail to dodhra.mc-alex.dmdc.mbx.qcsurvey@mail.mil. Include your name and Ticket Number.

Will I ever see the results of the survey? Top

• OPA posts survey results on the following website:

Your name and contact information have been used only for the distribution of this survey.  Your responses to the demographic questions will allow DoD to better analyze all responses among varying demographic groups.  Responding to this survey is voluntary. 

The survey is confidential.  Therefore, any responses you provide regarding your experiences in your current position will not impact your reporting options.  

Most people can complete the survey in 20 minutes.  There is no penalty to you if you choose not to respond.  However, maximum participation is encouraged so the data will be complete and representative. 

Additional Information

10 USC Sections 136, 481, 1782, 2358, 14 USC 1 and Section 539D, NDAA FY 2021, authorize the Department of Defense to conduct this survey.  Reports will be provided to the military leaders, the Secretary of Defense, and Congress. 

OPA uses well-established, scientific procedures to randomly select a sample representing the Defense community based on combinations of demographic characteristics. 

Identifying information will be used only by government and contractor staff engaged in, and for purposes of, survey research.  For example, the research oversight office of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) and representatives of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) are eligible to review research records as a part of their responsibility to protect human subjects in research.  In no case will individual identifiable survey responses be reported. 

The data collection procedures are not expected to involve any risk or discomfort to you. 

Survey data may be shared with DoD researchers or organizations outside the DoD who are conducting research on DoD personnel.  OPA performs a disclosure avoidance analysis to reduce the risk of there being a combination of demographic variables which can single out an individual.  In some instances and only with sponsor approval, OPA may make available datasets with additional demographic variables to a small number of approved researchers.  There is some risk individuals might be identified on these datasets; however, OPA implements several procedures to protect the data.  The datasets will only be available in a secure environment where they cannot be downloaded or transferred.  Statistical analyses can only be performed after review and approval to ensure identifying information is not released.  Access to these datasets will only be allowed on a need-to-know basis with an approved data sharing agreement in place.  Researchers approved for access to these datasets must adhere to strict procedures, including - but not limited to - data sharing agreements, secure transfers of data, destruction of files upon completion of research, and authorization to reuse data.  In addition, receipt and use of these datasets must adhere to all DoD information assurance, security, and other data use policies.

Your responses could be used in future research.  Results from these surveys will be posted on the web:  https://dwp.dmdc.osd.mil/dwp/app/dod-data-reports/defense-research
If you answer any items or indicate distress or being upset, etc., you will not be contacted for follow-up purposes. However, if you indicate a direct threat to harm yourself or others within responses or communications about the survey, because of concern for your welfare, OPA may notify an office in your area for appropriate action.

If you experience any difficulties while taking the survey, please contact the Survey Processing Center by sending an e-mail to dodhra.mc-alex.dmdc.mbx.qcsurvey@mail.mil. If you have concerns about your rights as a research participant, please contact the OUSD(P&R) Research Regulatory Oversight Office at 703-681-6522/703-681-8320 or e-mail DHRA.R202.PR@mail.mil.

 

Once you start answering the survey, if you desire to withdraw your answers, please notify the Survey Processing Center prior to July 22, 2021.  Please include in the e-mail your name and Ticket Number.  Unless withdrawn, partially completed survey data may be used after that date.
