The 2022 Service Academy Gender Relations Survey (2022 SAGR): Statistical Methodology Report describes the sampling and weighting methodologies for the 2022 SAGR. As in prior years, the 2022 SAGR surveyed cadets and midshipmen of the three Department of Defense (DoD) Military Service Academies (MSAs) (US Military Academy [USMA], US Naval Academy [USNA], and US Air Force Academy [USAFA]), cadets of the US Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), and midshipmen of the US Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA).
The principal purpose of the 2022 SAGR is to measure, analyze, and report estimated prevalence rates of sexual assault and rates of sex based military equal opportunity violations (sexual harassment and gender discrimination) among MSA students in the past academic program year. The SAGR survey also serves to assess attitudes and perceptions about programs and policies designed to reduce the occurrence of these unwanted behaviors and improve the climate of gender relations at the academies.
