结论

Each MWR program and service measure of effectiveness was matched with building blocks of resilience and readiness based on existing literature

  • Through a review of the literature, the authors developed an evidence-informed model containing 22 building blocks of readiness and resilience, organized across four system levels: individual, family, peer/squadron, and community.
  • Of the 22 building blocks, 18 were covered by the intended outcomes of at least one MWR program or service.
  • The building blocks targeted by the largest number of programs included social network, sense of belonging, sense of community, access to community activities, family functioning and relationships, and coping strategies and skills — representing building blocks at all system levels.
  • All MWR programs and services target at least two building blocks, though some programs were matched with as many as nine building blocks.
  • There is a fair amount of overlap in the specific building blocks covered by programs and services, suggesting that many offerings in the MWR portfolio are contributing to resilience and readiness through similar pathways. However, evaluation is needed to understand whether programs and services are achieving intended outcomes, and whether the overlap in coverage of building blocks is functional (e.g., by reaching different subgroups).
摘要

Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) programs and services are considered an integral part of resilient and ready Airmen and families. However, the Air Force currently lacks an evidence-informed evaluation framework for MWR programs, especially one that identifies short-term and intermediate outcomes that contribute to Airman and family resilience and readiness. A necessary first step in determining the possible impact of the MWR portfolio is to identify, and then assess, the contributions of each individual program or service. To understand the ways that MWR programs can contribute to resilience and readiness, the Air Force asked RAND researchers to develop an evidence-informed framework that links program and service activities to such outcomes and provides guidance on collecting and managing the data needed to measure those outcomes. To accomplish this, the authors developed a model of resilience and readiness building blocks — that is, precursors to overall resilience and readiness identified through a review of existing literature. They then used this model as the basis for comparing the building blocks and short-term and intermediate outcomes targeted by programs and services within the MWR portfolio. Together, these two efforts allow the Air Force to examine whether and how the MWR portfolio could be used to foster resilience and readiness across the total force. The report concludes with a discussion of next steps that the Air Force can take to move closer to evaluating the capabilities of the MWR portfolio with respect to enhancing Airman and family resilience and readiness.
