结论

Nearly All of the BYR Programs Are at Least Partially Meeting Their Goals

  • The vast majority of programs that we evaluated have at least partially met their stated goals. In one instance, we determined that a program had not met its stated goals; in another instance, we lacked sufficient information to determine whether the program met its stated goal. In most cases when programs failed to meet goals, this was at least partly due to the goals being unclear or difficult to measure or because the program was very new. A lack of evidence that demonstrated progress toward a goal is also an issue for some programs.

Overall, Programs Are Implementing Many Promising Practices

  • The promising practices that we identified across the various programs include a close alignment between activities and goals; a single point of entry for clients; personalized, one-on-one services; geographically dispersed staff; activities that build long-term client skills; strong partnerships with other resource providers; strong partnerships with community organizations and employers; early engagement with mobilized units; broad and creative outreach strategies; strong technology-based tracking systems; and efforts to make programs replicable and sustainable.

Authors Identified Four Areas Across Programs That Could Be Improved

  • RAND found a few pressing areas for improvement upon which many of the programs can focus. These include a lack of well-defined, measurable goals; insufficient evidence of outcomes and impacts; insufficient outreach to the entire eligible population; and no contingency plan to account for BYR funding limitations.
摘要

In 2011, Congress appropriated funding to expand the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program, authorizing "service- and state-based programs to provide access to service members and their families of all components." This supplemental funding — Beyond Yellow Ribbon (BYR) — supports programs that are intended to provide critical outreach services to personnel returning from deployments. BYR's overall goal is to ease service members' transition back into civilian life. In response to a congressional request to identify programs with strong records of success and to develop a nationwide set of promising practices, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs asked the RAND Corporation to provide an assessment of 13 programs in the ten states that received fiscal year 2013 BYR funding. The objectives of RAND's study were to: (1) examine the extent to which BYR programs have met their stated goals and the degree to which they have been effective in supporting reserve-component service members and their families, (2) identify promising practices in the programs that could be transferred across the broader set of BYR programs, and (3) suggest ways to improve the effectiveness of those programs as a whole. In RAND's determination, nearly all of the BYR programs are at least partially meeting their goals. This report concludes with recommendations to program leadership and to Department of Defense and congressional policymakers as they consider general program oversight and future BYR funding allocations.
