This report contains tabulations of responses from the 2012 Workplace and
Gender Relations Survey of Active Duty Members (2012 WGRA) conducted
September 17, 2012 to November 7, 2012. The 2012 WGRA continues a line of military sexual harassment research begun
in 1988. DMDC conducted Joint Service surveys of active duty members on gender
issues in 1988, 1995, 2002, 2006, and 2010. DMDC expanded this line of research to
the Reserve/National Guard in 2004, 2008, and 2012 and to the Service Academies in
2005. Since 1995, the questionnaire was designed to estimate both the level of sexual
harassment in the Services and provide new information on a variety of consequences
of harassment (Bastian, Lancaster, & Reist, 1996). In 2006, the questionnaire was
significantly revised to collect parallel information on sexual assault in the Services.
