Abstract
AbstractThis presentation reports on the well-being of Canadian military Veterans based on findings from three cycles (2010, 2013, 2016) of the large-scale population-based Life After Service program of research. A partnership between Veterans Affairs Canada, the Department of National Defense, and Statistics Canada, this national study uses cross sectional and longitudinal survey and data linkage methodologies to report on the well being of regular force and reserve Veterans across key domains of well-being (e.g., adjustment to civilian life, health, finances, employment, social integration). Compared to other Canadians, Veterans have higher levels of chronic mental and physical health conditions, much higher levels of functional impairment in the community and workplace, comparable levels of unemployment, higher levels of suicide, and are about half as likely to experience low income. Challenges facing Veterans in the transition to civilian life and links between military service and well being in later life will be discussed.
