Survey data to guide military health planning
The CSTA is designed to collect community-level perspectives to support comprehensive community health assessments (CHAs) and to inform evidence-based community health improvement plans (CHIPs) for military installations and geographically dispersed commands. The DoD states the results will help commanders, senior leaders, and community stakeholders set priorities to improve Force and Family readiness.
DoD survey asks 15 minutes of your time
The Department of Defense proposes the Community Strengths and Themes Assessment (CSTA) survey that would ask participating Active-Duty Service Members, adult Family members, Civilian personnel, and military Retirees to complete one 15-minute response. The proposal estimates 9,300 respondents annually, 9,300 annual responses, 2,325 total annual burden hours, and the survey would be administered every two to five years at each participating location.
