Key Points

To provide a scientific, methodological, and historical foundation for interpreting findings from the 2013 Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey.
Conducted a narrative review contextualizing Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) operational deployments to Afghanistan (N > 40,000) and concurrent mental health system reforms.
Synthesized research methodology and historical comparative metrics from prior population-based CAF research, including the 2002 mental health survey and the 2013 survey of serving personnel (N = 8,200).
Reviewed findings across 20 peer-reviewed publications utilizing 2002 CAF survey data and 25 publications from subsequent CAF mental health research projects.
Identified methodological homology among the 2013 CFMHS, the 2002 military survey, and Canadian general population surveys from 2002 and 2012 to support longitudinal and societal comparisons.
