Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey (CFMHS) Release

Question
We received confirmation that there will only be a master file, and not a PUMF, for the Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey (CFMHS) <http://www23.statcan.gc.ca /imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=5084>, but I was also wondering:

- Can we expect selected statistical tables to be published for this survey, given that custom tabulations seem on occasion to be more often taking the place of published tables?

- Is there any new information on when the master file(s) will be available, is it likely to be in 2014?

Answer

The author division confirmed that: "The (very) tentative date for the master file is fall 2014. Basically, details of the release are still being planned. At this point, nothing is definite. As I mentioned, even the release date is very tentative."
