OPM proposes to change the instructions to question 21.1 of the standard form 86, which asks whether, in the last seven years, the respondent has consulted with a health care professional regarding an emotional or mental health condition or was hospitalized for such a condition. The proposed change would instruct persons whose consultation was strictly in relation to a sexual assault to respond "no."
