• MOPs are used to evaluate the way in which a program is implemented and the quality of that implementation; MOEs are used to evaluate whether the program is achieving its goals and effectively producing the desired intermediate, proximal, or distal outcomes.
• A systemic review of published evaluations of sexual assault prevention programming identified frequently used MOPs and MOEs. Interviews with subject-matter experts identified recent developments and additional themes.
• The researchers developed logic models, and identified corresponding MOPs and MOEs, for the three main types of Marine Corps sexual assault prevention programming: annual trainings, leadership courses, and social media efforts.
• The researchers developed a tailored pool of MOPs and MOEs for each of the three categories of programs. Each item in the pool includes the item wording, response options, the source of the item, and the population to which the measure applies.
• The lack of existing items and scales that fit Marine Corps processes and desired outcomes resulted in the need for RAND experts to develop items tailored to the content of the Marine Corps' training programs. As these programs continue to evolve, future measures may need to be added to and customized for the item pool.

To assist the U.S. Marine Corps in evaluating its sexual assault prevention programs, the authors of this report identify and develop measures of performance (MOPs) and measures of effectiveness (MOEs) with which to assess the programs. The research team created a logic model framework to guide evaluations and mapped program goals to measures that assess the degree to which each outcome has been achieved.

This report presents logic models for the U.S. Marine Corps' sexual assault prevention annual trainings, leadership courses, and social media efforts and identifies MOPs and MOEs for each component of the logic models. Collectively, these measures serve as an item pool from which to select measures for use in future evaluations. As background, the authors also review measures being used for evaluation of sexual assault prevention training in the military and civilian arenas and existing data sources available to the Marine Corps that include variables relevant to an evaluation of sexual assault prevention programming. The authors conclude with considerations for developing an evaluation of the Marine Corps Sexual Assault Prevention and Response office's prevention programming and recommendations to make best use of the measures.
