Mental health-specific leadership and mental health outcomes in the Canadian Armed Forces during the Covid-19 pandemic
Physical and psychological challenges faced by military, medical and public safety personnel relief workers supporting natural disaster operations: A systematic review
Natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes, result in devastating consequences at the individual and community levels. To date, much of the research reflecting the consequences of natural disasters focuses heavily on victims, with little attention paid to the personnel responding to such disasters. We conducted a systematic review of the challenges faced by military, medical and public safety personnel supporting natural dis…
Pandemic-Related Challenges and Organizational Support Among Personnel in Canada's Defense Establishment
In the final week of March 2020, 2.8 million Canadians were away from their usual places of work and engaging in remote and/or telework to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 (Statistics Canada, 2020). The Government of Canada's Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) were no exception, with most members from the regular force (Reg F), the primary reserve force (P Res), and the DND public service (DND PS) working from…
Prospective Analysis of Premilitary Mental Health, Somatic Symptoms, and Postdeployment Postconcussive Symptoms
OBJECTIVES: Many recent studies of service members returning from deployment have focused on the health impacts of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), including persistent postconcussive symptoms (PCS). However, cross-sectional study designs have made it difficult to understand the role of mental health in the etiology of persistent PCS. METHODS: Participants were 3319 military personnel (primarily men [90%] of 25-34 years [54%]) who had complete…
‘I can choose’: The reflected prominence of personal control in representations of health risk in Canada
Multidisciplinary research has contributed to a better understanding of the personal and societal correlates of risk perception. However, representations of ‘health risk’ remain to be characterised more fully. Drawing on a Canadian study conducted in 2004, an analysis was conducted to develop better characterisations of individual representations of health risk. The study involved a national telephone survey (N = 1503) and face-to-face semi-struc…
Expert vs. public perception of population health risks in Canada
In the field of risk analysis, there is ongoing tension between expert risk assessment and public risk perception. This paper presents the results of a health risk perception survey administered to Canadian health experts as a follow-up to a previous survey. A total of 125 experts (75 physicians and 50 toxicologists) recruited through professional organizations completed a self-administered questionnaire in 2004. Experts were asked to provide rat…
Qualitative analysis of cognitive and contextual determinants of Canadians’ individual response to terrorism
The objective of the present study was to explore different aspects of individual response to terrorism in Canada and develop a descriptive model of the processes involved. A qualitative analysis was performed on transcripts of individual and group interviews held across Canada (N = 73) wherein concerns and decisions surrounding terrorism were discussed. This analysis revealed 16 emerging concepts, which were organised into six overarching themes…
Public perception of population health risks in Canada: Risk perception beliefs
A national survey of health risk perception among 1,503 adult Canadians was conducted in 2004 as a follow-up to a previous survey in 1992. Respondents were asked to indicate their personal opinion regarding a range of risk perception belief statements reflecting environmental concern, social concern, genetic concern, dependence on regulators, locus of health risk control (internal, powerful others, chance), risk acceptability and technological en…
Health Risk Perceptions as Mediators of Socioeconomic Differentials in Health Behaviour
Differentials in health status and behaviour by socioeconomic status (SES) constitute a scientific and policy challenge. In this article, data from a national survey on Canadians' perceptions of population health risks were analysed to determine whether various types of health risk perceptions mediated SES differentials in health behaviour. As expected, health behaviours and risk perceptions both varied with SES. Results suggested a mediating rol…
The structure of Canadians' health risk perceptions: Environmental, therapeutic and social health risks
Numerous studies have examined health risk perception through public ratings of health hazards, comparing them across lists, across time or across subpopulations. Yet, few have unveiled people's mental organization and representation of the factors affecting health risk. In order to better understand how the construct of health risk is conceptualized by the public, a principal components analysis was conducted on data from a previous national sur…
Public Perception of Terrorism Threats and Related Information Sources in Canada: Implications for the Management of Terrorism Risks
A national survey of terrorism‐related risk perceptions was recently conducted in Canada, with a total of 1,502 adult Canadians interviewed by telephone. This paper provides a descriptive account of the perception of terrorism threats in Canada, specific types and effects of terrorism, as well as information sources on terrorism. Overall, respondents reported that terrorism was a low to moderate threat to the Canadian population and an even lower…
