Audit of Triage and Support Services for Sexual Assault Victims at DoD Medical Treatment Facilities (DODIG-2023-120)
Publicly Released: September 11, 2023
The objective of this audit was to determine whether DoD medical treatment facilities triaged sexual assault victims with priority treatment as emergency cases, offered to perform Sexual Assault Forensic Examinations (SAFE), and notified support services, in accordance with Federal and DoD policies. In March 2021, the Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) (ASD[HA]) suggested that we review this topic.
