Summary Sexual assault within DoD has received national attention from the media, Congress, and the public. To help address this problem, the Navy established the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) Program that has been tasked with supporting DoN's goals of combating sexual assault and generating a culture of assault intolerance, compassionate response, and accountability. To achieve its goal, the SAPR Program must promote effective communication among a variety of stakeholders. This study is designed to assist the Navy in developing proactive and adaptive Fleet communication strategies and tailored messages that will help accomplish the US Navy's SAPR vision, which is to "promote and foster a culturally aware and informed Navy respectful of all, intolerant of sexual assault, and supported by a synergistic program of prevention, advocacy, and accountability."
