New study to look at how Canada’s veterans have been impacted by COVID-19

The Lawson Health Research Institute in London, Ont. is partnering with the Centre of Excellence on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (now known as the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families) in Ottawa on a study investigating the impact of COVID-19 on Canada’s Veterans. The studyalso aims to examine the coping mechanisms of spouses of Veterans, who take on significant caregiving responsibilities. It will also examine risk factors, such as job losses or reduced hours, and the types of support needed to prevent further distress.
