SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Wingman Intervention Training Program Evaluation; OMB Control Number 0704-0627.

Type of Request: Revision.

Number of Respondents: 8,540.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 1.

Average Burden per Response: 16.71 minutes.

Annual Burden Hours: 2,379 hours.

Needs and Uses: The purpose of the evaluation is to determine the effectiveness of the Wingman Intervention Training (WIT) program in preventing sexual harassment (SH) and sexual assault (SA). Respondents are Airmen/Guardians. Respondents will be recruited as First Term Airmen/Guardians to target the population most vulnerable to SH and SA. Respondents will start the web-based baseline January 2022 with a six-month intake period until June 2022, and a 6-month follow-up survey (July-December 2022) on SH and SA so that the Department of the Air Force (DAF) can learn whether the WIT programming is effective at preventing SH and SA events and promoting active bystander behaviors. DAF Resilience Office staff can use the results to improve their prevention programming, thus supporting safer, more inclusive settings. Further, Airmen/Guardians may benefit through the improvement of the WIT program to prevent SH and SA within the Air Force. The military and society at large will also benefit because military officers will be more knowledgeable about SH and SA and will be better able to intervene to prevent SH and SA.

Affected Public: Individuals or households.

Frequency: On occasion.

Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
