The 2021 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Military Members–Active Component: Statistical Methodology Report (2021 WGRA) describes the statistical methodologies for the Active component participants in the 2021 Workplace and Gender Relations Survey of Military Members (2021 WGR). The survey fielded from December 9, 2021 to March 3, 2022.
The report has eight sections. Section 1 is definitions. Section 2 discusses the sample design and selection of the sample. Section 3 describes the design of experiments. Section 4 describes the weighting and variance estimation. Section 5 discusses the statistical tests used. Section 6 describes the calculation of contact, cooperation, and response rates for the full sample and population subgroups. Section 7 discusses the results of the experiments. Section 8 discusses nonresponse bias.
Note: Prior to 2025, OPA research products used the term “gender” to describe men and women. These groups were defined using survey items and/or administrative data categories for “male” and “female”; therefore, references to gender should be understood to mean “sex”.
