mental health of Canadian Veterans, with a focus on Veterans living with chronic pain and their
family members.
• To test the applicability of theories, models, or frameworks for analyzing other kinds of health
transitions to the Veteran transition experience, or to develop new frameworks for doing so.
• To analyze how transition impacts access to healthcare of Canadian Veterans living with chronic
pain, including specific consideration of access to and engagement with family physicians and
primary care.
• To identify opportunities to improve the transition experience of Canadian Veterans living with
chronic pain.
• To build the capacity and knowledge of Canadian Veterans with chronic pain to maintain a level
of activity, work, and/or function post transition, comparable to their experience in the military.
