Only you can help us understand the health needs of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF).

Statistics Canada, in collaboration with the Department of National Defence, is launching the Canadian Armed Forces Health Survey (CAFHS) in 2019. You might be one of the randomly selected individuals to receive an email and letter in the mail requesting your participation in this survey.

Don’t worry if you didn’t receive an invitation to do the survey in January 2019 since the CAFHS will be administered in two cycles – the second wave of invitations will sent in April 2019.

Regular or Reserve Force members, we need to hear from you so that we are informed about your most important health and lifestyle issues.

Your responses will help shape current and future policies and programs aimed at ensuring the best possible health for CAF personnel. This survey is a valuable tool for monitoring physical and mental health, effectiveness of care, and satisfaction with health services.

If you receive an invitation to participate in this survey, please take the time to complete it. For the results to be accurate and representative of the CAF, we need everyone who was selected to take part. This electronic questionnaire will take about 45 minutes to complete. You can complete it at home or at work. Your contribution will give us the information needed to continue our efforts to improve health programs and services for all CAF personnel.
