Veterans Affairs Research
Transition to Civilian Life Survey (TCLS)
In order to help Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and the Department of National Defence (DND) ensure that their programs continue to meet the needs of former and still-serving Canadian Forces (CF) members, more needs to be known about how former CF members are doing after they leave the military.
To get this information, Statistics Canada will conduct a national telephone survey of 4,800 former CF Regular Force members on behalf of VAC and DND. Survey participants will be randomly selected by Statistics Canada from the population of CF Regular Force members who were released from 1998 to 2007. The survey will consist of a telephone interview lasting about 30 minutes and covering topics such as health status (mental, physical and social); factors impacting health such as smoking, alcohol use and stress, and disability.
Participation is entirely voluntary, but the co-operation of those who are selected to participate is important to ensure the results are as accurate as possible.
More information about the survey is available on the Statistics Canada Web site at www.statcan.gc.ca
