Free Study of Coaching Program for Parents Concerned About Their Children’s Weight – Deadline 18 SEPT
Very rarely I ask for a favor…consider enrolling in or advertising my wife’s IRB approved study. She gets no money for this and it is completely free due to grant funding. Here are the details straight from the OG CAPT Schofer:
It’s the final days for enrollment in a novel research study for parents who are worried about their kids’ weight.
The grant-funded randomized, controlled study will welcome 60 families to participate in the Family in Focus health coaching program as its effectiveness at improving parental psychological metrics such as self-efficacy, eating competence, body image, self-compassion and self-stigma for child weight, all of which predict child and family health. Parents participate free of charge in the full 8-week virtual group coaching program.
Please see the flyer for eligibility and enrollment steps. Randomization is occurring this week for the final groups – don’t delay!

Health of the Force (HoF) Survey Update
Leaders,
Request one last push on the Health of Force Survey. To date, we have ~17.5k responses, 8k less than last year. The most under-represented groups are junior enlisted (E5 and below) and junior officers (O3 and below). The survey will remain open until 31 Aug and is available at this Link (QR code at the bottom):
https://usnavy.gov1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3mk65UxsLQgMMjI
This year’s survey focuses on the work environment and readiness. We’ll be ready to share full insights as part of the 2023 Health of the Force report, but the following are some emerging results:
- About half of the participants agree they would recommend a Navy career; for E6s and below, that number is just under 40%.
- Half of the participants indicate their unit is prepared and ready to perform its mission.
- Over a third report less than six hours per sleep per night on average over the past month.
- A third indicate they’ve been dealing with severe or extreme stress on the job over the past year; most cite inadequate manning as the cause.
- Over half agree that their command is committed to employee health and well-being and that leaders encourage personnel to develop and maintain healthy lifestyles.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in hearing the voice of our Fleet!
