Canadian Forces Surveys

Question:
Do we have access to the following Statistics Canada surveys, and particularly the raw data-sets?

  • Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey (CFMHS), released 2014
  • Life After Service Survey (LASS), released 2017
  • Canadian Armed Forces Transition and Well-being Survey (CAFTWS), released 2018
Answer:

Unfortunately, there are no PUMFs available for any of these files.

As you’ve mentioned, all three are available via the RDC program. However, two of them are also available via RTRA.
  • Canadian Forces Mental Health Survey (CFMHS)
    • CFMHS 2013
  • Life After Service Survey (LASS)
    • LASS 2013
