The aim of this survey is to assist in the adaptation of an existing web-based sexual assault prevention program for college men and women, for use among the Navy population. Responses to the survey will provide information about the behavior and attitudes of Sailors regarding alcohol use and sexual assault. The results of the survey will impact the Department of the Navy by documenting the feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction, and utility of a multi-pronged, individually tailored, and easily distributed prevention program that addresses the large problem of sexual assault, and the associated effects of alcohol for Sailors. In the long-term, this research benefits the readiness of the force by producing an easily disseminated high-quality sexual assault prevention program that can be implemented in multiple military settings and sustain evaluation in a larger clinical trial. This research can also have a secondary impact on reducing hazardous alcohol use among service members and can prevent the occurrence of alcohol use problems and associated negative health sequelae in service members.
This information must be collected prior to the time periods established under 5 CFR Part 1320 of the regulations and this information collection is essential to ensure that this CDMRP-funded project is not delayed any further. This NHRC IRB-approved project was meeting scheduled milestones; however, is now behind schedule due to delays in receiving a determination from the Navy Survey Approval Office. Considering that the funding agency requires that specific project milestones are achieved by set dates, we are requesting an expedited approval of the survey to ensure that this project is not delayed further. If OMB emergency clearance is not granted, data necessary for the sexual assault prevention intervention development and adaption will not be available and will significantly affect study execution.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
