The research is limited. That's one of the main findings in the report, but it still had quite a few findings.
For example, we know that women veterans are two to three times more likely to be medically released, and they have higher rates of certain physical and mental health conditions compared to men veterans. They also report a more difficult transition to civilian life. One study found that women veterans' incomes declined by 17% to 23% in the first three years post-release, whereas men's only decreased by less than 1%.
Compared to women in the Canadian general population, women veterans have higher rates of certain physical and mental health conditions. Most concerning is that they have an 80% to 90% higher risk of dying by suicide.
