Lower response rates are a trend affecting both military and civilian surveys. The Navy Equal Opportunity/Sexual Harassment (NEOSH) Survey obtained a response rate of 60% in 1989; by 1999, the rate had fallen to 30%. This study was conducted to determine reasons for the low response rate and to obtain suggestions on how to mitigate this issue on future surveys. A follow-up survey was administered to a random sample of those selected for the 1999 NEOSH Survey. The top 3 reasons for not completing surveys were a belief that surveys have no impact, general apathy toward surveys, and survey length. Suggestions for increasing response rates included providing feedback, increasing command involvement, shortening survey length, and providing incentives. When the responses of those who said they completed the NEOSH Survey were compared to those who indicated they did not, the responses of the two groups were similar for attitudinal items. However, completers endorsed factual items assessing attendance at EO-related training more than noncompleters did.
