Quality of Life (QOL) decision-makers need complete and accurate information that will help them determine if funded QOL programs are actually contributing to positive perceptions of Navy life, and which of them have the greatest impact. Specific program assessments were designed to supplement the Navy's QOL Domain survey with specific data on how well individual QOL programs meet the needs of Navy personnel. Data from over 10,700 QOL program patrons at three Navy Fleet concentration areas (i.e., Hampton Roads Virginia, Southern California, and Yokosuka Japan) were collected over a 6-month period. Results from this study support the conclusions from Kerce et al. (1999) that the QOL program evaluation approach, employing outcome items at two different levels - one at the program level examining program- specific outcomes and one examining higher-order outcomes, is a viable approach for evaluating a broad array of programs This report also provides results that can be used to evaluate several QOL programs on a common metric - patron ratings of program quality, ratings of how well programs meet patron QOL needs, and how patrons rate the program's impact on their readiness (results related to program-specific outcomes can be found in Appendices B through F). Strengths and limitations of this program evaluation approach are discussed.

Quality of life (QOL) programs represent a significant investment by the military. Policy-makers need data that will enable them to determine whether QOL programs contribute to positive perceptions of Navy life and impact military outcomes. In the initial phase of this project (see Schwerin, Michael, Glaser, & Uriell, 2001, a QOL assessment system and methodology were developed that could be applied to all Navy QOL programs. The present report evaluates the survey data collected on two QOL programs: New Parent Support Program (NPSP) and the Sexual Assault Victim Intervention (SAVI) program. Surveys were administered to NPSP and SAVI program users at sites Navy-wide. Program quality generally exceeded patrons' expectations and patrons believed the programs met the program specific objectives, the overarching Reasons for Being (RFB) program goals, and Navy organizational objectives. In addition, QOL, Readiness, and the program's contribution to the Service members' Intention to Remain in the military were predicted by various RFB objectives and program quality; however, these variables had less impact on overall Career Intentions.

This report presents survey results bearing on four questions: (1) How did personnel characterize the Navy's quality-of-life (QOL) efforts in the period from 1990 through 1992? (2) Did the opinions of personnel regarding the Navy's QOL efforts exhibit any trends between 1990 and 1992? (3) Did some personnel view the Navy's efforts more favorably than other personnel in the period from 1990 to 1992? and (4) In the period between 1990 and 1992, did the Navy's QOL efforts favorably impact the job performance of personnel and their career-continuance decisions? Results were based on completed surveys from 20, 121 enlisted personnel and 14,530 officers. Child-care, Family support programs, Leadership training, Living conditions, QOL.

The military services have devoted much attention in recent years to improving the quality of military life. Quality of life (QOL) is a broad term used to described the non-monetary aspects of military living and working conditions. Housing, recreation, counselling, and medical services are examples of QOL-related programs. The research reported here examines the extent to which the quality of life of Navy enlisted personnel affects their reenlistment decisions. Identification of areas of discontent that adversely affect reenlistments can provide guidelines for efficient allocation of QOL program funds, and point out alternatives to compensation for increasing reenlistment rates. To identify QOL problem areas, the attitudes towards Navy jobs and life and the individual characteristics of first-term and career enlisted personnel were related to their reenlistment decisions. The following sections describe the data, the reenlistment model, and the results. Finally, the value of QOL research for reenlistment policy making is discussed and suggestions are made for additional analyses. (Author).

The primary objectives of this study were twofold. First, findings are presented to provide a baseline assessment of perceived Quality of Life (QOL) in a group of Navy shipboard men. As part of this objective, Navy shipboard QOL ratings were compared to those of a national sample to provide a perspective for interpreting the Navy responses. Second, various health-related factors were examined as potential correlates of life quality. This information can provide ideas about factors that might be targeted in health promotion programs to improve health and fitness as well as enhance Navy members' perceptions of well-being. Results suggest that the Navy shipboard environment may enhance perceptions of oneself and one's coping abilities, yet contribute to lower satisfaction with personal life and work--possibly related to frequent separation from home and family. The consistent association of health and fitness measures with higher life quality, including satisfaction with one's Navy job, underscores the importance of the Navy's Health and Physical readiness Program and the Chief of Naval Operations' Personal Excellence Program. To the extent that such programs improve the health and fitness of service personnel, additional benefits should be gained in terms of enhanced well-being among Navy personnel. (KT).

The 2002 Navy Quality of Life (QOL) Survey was designed to: (1) determine sailors' overall satisfaction with QOL in the Navy and with specific professional and personal domains, (2) compare results with those of 1999, and (3) examine the relationship between QOL and sailors' continuance plans. A Navy-side random, stratified sample was drawn. Data were weighted to ensure that results would accurately generalize to the Navy population. The survey results indicated that a majority of enlisted were satisfied in all QOL domains except shipboard life and standard of living/income. A majority of officers were satisified in all QOL domains. Enlisted and officers were notably more satisified in 2002 than in 1999 regarding overal QOL and the shipboard life, standard of living/income, and leisure and recreation domains. For enlisted and officer non-careerists (sailors with 10 or fewer years of Navy service), continuance plans were most highly correlated with satisfaction with military life (vs. other measures of QOL). Satisfaction with military life was, in turn, most highly correlated with shipboard life.

This report presents a conceptual framework and suggestions for a planned study of quality of life (QOL) and military outcomes among Navy personnel. The conceptual framework links individual variables (e.g., age, marital status, and Navy paygrade) and contextual Navy variables (e.g., command) with two conceptions of subjective QOL: satisfaction with particular domains in one's life (e.g., marriage and job) and global life satisfaction. A number of facets of life domains are identified, including overall satisfaction, satisfaction with aspects of the domain, centrality of the domain, and perceived relevance of the Navy to domain satisfaction. QOL needs in a given domain are represented as the interaction of domain satisfaction and centrality. Additional contributors to life satisfaction are recent experiences of satisfaction and dissatisfaction within life domains, the degree to which individuals' personal characteristics fit the Navy environment, and personal dispositions such as optimism. Three types of person-level military outcomes are considered: retention, job performance, and readiness. These outcomes are related to global and domain satisfaction and to person-environment fit. One section of the report lists expectations derived from the conceptual framework; another presents specific research recommendations.
