RAND Researchers Estimate That, as of Early Fall of 2014, Approximately 270 of the U.S. Coast Guard's 39,000 Active-Duty Members Experienced One or More Sexual Assaults in the Past Year

• This figure includes assaults by other service members, civilians, spouses or others.
• It represents 3.0 percent of active-duty women and 0.3 percent of active-duty men.

Nearly a Quarter of Active-Duty Women Experienced Sexual Harassment or Gender Discrimination in the Past Year

• The majority of these sex-based military equal opportunity (MEO) violations involve experiences consistent with a sexually hostile work environment or gender discrimination.
• Our estimate of the prevalence of sex-based MEO violations against active-duty Coast Guard men is substantially lower, though still affecting about 1 in 22 men. These violations usually involve hostile work environments.

The Study Found That A Smaller Proportion of Coast Guard Members Experienced Sexual Assaults Than Found Among Their Counterparts in the Other U.S. Military Services

• In forthcoming reports, RAND will investigate if some of these service differences are attributable to differences in member demographics (e.g., age and education levels), cultures, or policies across services.
• Men in the Coast Guard experienced lower rates of sex-based MEO violations than men in the other services.
