Given the devastating effects of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and limited information on male MST specifically, the U.S. Congress specified a requirement to improve the prevention of and response to sexual trauma affecting male service members in Section 538 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Pub. L. 114â92). Furthermore, the Department of Defense (DoD) developed a formalized plan of action to improve prevention and response efforts for male MST. Despite these efforts and consistent with prior research, DoD reports found that active duty men are substantially less likely to report MST relative to active duty women counterparts. As part of the DoD-wide effort to promote help-seeking for sexual assault survivors, the Department of Navy (DoN) Office of Force Resiliency (OFR) developed and recently updated the Prevention Plan of Action (aka Prevention Plan of Action 2.0, 2022-2024; PPoA 2.0). The PPoA 2.0 is a strategy framework leveraging public health science in military environments to prevent sexual assault in the military and improve response efforts. As part of this initiative, OFR commissioned this study (Agreement #NMR-24-11717) to investigate the help-seeking among men who experienced military sexual violence (i.e., sexual assault or sexual harassment). This study will address this requirement by conducting interviews with men who have experienced military sexual violence.
