By: Sarah Opal Meadows

This report explores the applicability of neighborhood theory and social indicators research to understanding the quality of life in and around military bases. It also highlights gaps in neighborhood study methodology that need to be addressed in future research.

Assessing the Association Between Airmen Participation in Force Support Squadron Programs and Unit Cohesion

Executive Summary

By: Stephanie Brooks Holliday

In 2016, the Air Force began an effort to revitalize squadrons, aimed at promoting the readiness and resilience of the force. In light of this effort, the Air Force Services Center established the UNITE Initiative and hired Community Cohesion Coordinators (C3s) across participating installations to plan programs, activities, and events that directly support unit cohesion, leveraging Force Support Squadron activities along with resources and activities in the local community. Previous research suggests that providing units with opportunities to participate in group activities could serve to improve cohesion. However, the Air Force lacks data that demonstrate a correlation between the use of these activities and expected outcomes. In this report, the authors examine this connection by conducting an initial evaluation of the UNITE Initiative. The authors accomplish this evaluation by conducting interviews with C3s and reviewing post-event feedback from C3s, units, and airmen participants to understand how the program was implemented and identify successes, limitations, and lessons learned. The authors also use two post-event surveys, completed by airmen roughly two and six weeks after participating in a UNITE event, to examine whether participation was associated with perceptions of unit cohesion.

A Guide to Evaluating Marine and Family Division Programs, Services, and Capabilities

By: Stephanie Brooks Holliday,Stephani L. Wrabel,Thomas Trail,Margaret Tankard,Dana J. Schultz,Sarah Opal Meadows

For Marine and Family Division (MF) programs and services to remain meaningful, credible, and practical, their effectiveness must be able to be demonstrated. Assessing their offerings will help the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) to surge and contract the portfolio as resources wax and wane. This program evaluation toolkit is designed to help those responsible for implementing MF programs to determine whether those programs are effective-achieving their intended goals-and ultimately to guide efficient use of scarce resources. This toolkit is composed of two interrelated documents: this User's Guide and a set of Microsoft Excel workbooks that correspond to material presented in the User's Guide about collecting and analyzing data. This toolkit is based on the program evaluation literature and program evaluation toolkits produced by other RAND researchers. A review of relevant Marine Corps Orders; discussions with headquarters, branch, and program staff in MF; and reviews of publicly available websites provided additional background for the specific context of MF, USMC. The contents of this toolkit should be of particular interest to MF and staff in the five branches within the scope of this study: Behavioral Health, Family Care, Family Readiness, Personal and Professional Development, and Semper Fit. It may also be of interest to those who manage or oversee similar programs that provide support to service members and their families.
