The Survey Data and Assessment,
DHRA 03, system of records maintains
data about individuals who completed
DoD-sponsored survey questionnaires or
participated in DoD-sponsored focus
group data collections, including
military members, military spouses,
civilians, persons eligible for DoD
benefits (including retirees), and Service
Academy students. It also maintains
data about individuals involved in
market research studies, including men
and women of military age, and
applicants to the military services.
This system of records uses this
information to assess characteristics of
DoD personnel and households to
support manpower and benefits
research; to assess DoD personnel
attitudes, opinions, and or experiences
related to social issues; and to assess
attitudes toward joining the military and
reasons for leaving. This information is
used to provide the DoD with fast,
accurate assessments of the attitudes
and opinions of the entire DoD
community in order to evaluate existing
programs/policies, establish baseline
measures before implementing new
programs/policies, and monitor the
progress of programs/policies and their
effects on the total force.
