The terms of clearance for this ICR’s 2011 approval required that DoD “continually examine potential nonresponse and attrition bias in each wave of this study, particularly for key health-related variables and outcomes. DoD will continue this research and will provide updated results from these ongoing bias analyses to OMB with future submissions”. DoD has only partially met these terms. Based on OMB’s comments, the current ICR now includes a plan for a sampling weight strategy to address issues associated with potentially nonrandom non-response and attrition. Working with an experienced survey methodologist with expertise in creating and applying survey weights for similar datasets, DoD will develop an appropriate set of weights, and will make them available along with the data (including a documentation of how the weights were developed).
