This time, DoD wants to hear from every active duty military spouse – By Karen Jowers (Military Times) / July 28 2021
For the first time, all active-duty military spouses will be able to participate in the Department of Defense Active Duty Spouse Survey, which was launched today.
The survey is available in two tracks: DoD’s traditional, randomly and scientifically selected group of active duty spouses; and an opportunity for all other active-duty spouses to take part in an open, online survey.
Officials use the survey results to consider ways to adjust family policy and programs. The survey gathers data on issues such as satisfaction with the military lifestyle, support services and other military benefits, spouse employment, child care, financial stability, and the overall health and well-being of spouses, children and families.
DoD is still sending a survey invitation by email or mail to the scientifically selected sample, with a code to enter online. So spouses should watch their mail boxes and email in-boxes.
