SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Qualitative Data Collection on Access to Food on and Near Military Installations; OMB Control Number 0704-AFMI.
Needs and Uses: The Military Community & Family Policy (MC&FP) within the DoD's Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense is requesting Office of Management and Budget clearance for Qualitative Data Collection on Enlisted Service Member Access to Food on or Near Military Installations. MCFP will collect qualitative data through interviews and/or focus groups with Enlisted Active Duty Service members and spouses of Enlisted Active Duty Service members to understand the eating and spending patterns of the Enlisted military. Survey data has shown that 24% of the Active Duty Force report some level of food insecurity; the prevalence is higher in the Enlisted population and higher for those who live on-base than off-base. Similar data patterns were seen in the Active Duty Spouse Survey. At this time, little is known about the underlying causes of higher rates of food insecurity in the military, especially as it pertains to those who experience food insecurity while living on a base with dining facilities. Qualitative data collection will allow the DoD to collect data that will inform targeted initiatives to reduce food insecurity. Data collection will address the access to nutritious food and financial management of Service members and spouses' financial management practices.
