A New Coalition for a Challenging Battlefield: Military and Veteran Health Research

Abstract: A New Coalition for a Challenging Battlefield: Military and Veteran Health Research represents the latest addition to the growing list of publications from the Canadian Defence Academy Press. The subject area is of a tall order: to collect and disseminate new information on the health of military members and veterans. Health issues associated with combat exposure are becoming a priority for the Canadian Forces, interests well-shared with the Department of National Defence, Veterans Affairs Canada as well as a pan-Canadian community of researchers. As such, this book brings together these key stakeholders in a novel way. This publication is multidisciplinary, exploring all areas of research and providing the reader with the most recent findings in the areas of mental health, physical health and new technologies, as well as the challenges due to transitions from combat arms to other occupations.
