Thank you for your willingness to share information and opinions regarding your experience as a military child development program employee!
This survey asks for your perceptions regarding your pay, benefits, recruitment experiences, professional development and career advancement opportunities, working conditions, and intentions to remain in your job. The goal of the study is to better understand how to support the recruitment and retention of high-quality staff in military child development programs.
RAND, a nonprofit institution that conducts objective public policy studies, is administering this survey. This study is funded by Military Community and Family Policy within the Office of Secretary of Defense.
We estimate that this survey will take up to 20 minutes to complete.
In order to participate in the study, you must be at least 18 years old and currently work at a military child development program.
RAND will keep your responses confidential. We will analyze survey response and report on themes from combined responses. We will not name any single individual or installation in any of our publications.
Only qualified RAND project team members will have access to survey responses and data files. Data files will not include your name or other identifying information.
There is some, but low, risk that your personal identity could become known if there were a data breach. We take multiple steps to keep this information confidential.
Participation in this survey is voluntary, and you can decline to participate without penalty. You may also skip any question you do not want to answer.
We recognize that these are demanding times and appreciate the time you are able to give to this effort.
