Demographic Questionnaire: MST & RE Study

QIDS-SR

GAD-7

The Insomnia Severity Index is a 7 item scale which measures:

- Severity of insomnia
- Satisfaction with sleep pattern
- Effect of sleep on daytime and social functioning
- Concern about current sleep

Items are rated on a 5-point Likert Scale with 0 (no problem) to 4 (very severe problem), yielding a total score from 0 to 28.

MST was measured using a 7 item Sexual Harassment Scale from the Deployment Risk and Resilience Inventory-2. This scale measures:

- Exposure to sexual harassment (i.e., rumors regarding sexual behavior, crude sexual remarks)
- Threats for not engaging in sexual activities
- Sexual assault (i.e., unwanted sexual touching, attempted touching/rape, and/or rape) from unit members, leaders, or civilians during military service 

Item responses range from 0 (never), to 3 (many times).

Sexual Harrassment Scale 

Restrictive emotionality was measured utilizing the RE subscale of the Gender Role Conflict Scale. It consists of 10 items on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree), to 6 (strongly agree). This scale was used to assess participants' difficulty and/or reluctance to express emotions.

GRCS-RE

The PTSD Checklist for the DSM-5 is a 20-item scale used by researchers to measure participant's symptoms of PTSD. Responses were scored on a 5 point Likert scale with points ranging from 0 (not at all), to 4 (extremely).
