Abstract
LAY SUMMARY This literature review summarizes the available information about women Veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, points out gaps in the literature, and suggests ways to improve research about this population. The literature reviewed mainly addressed demographics, women Veterans’ physical and mental health issues, income and financial security, being a woman in the workplace, Veterans Affairs Canada program and service use, and military-to-civilian transition. Even though this review of 84 articles uncovered many issues faced by women Veterans in Canada, much more information is available about men compared with women Veterans, and more research on women Veterans is needed. With the research that is available, it is still difficult to understand the experiences of Canadian women Veterans, know whether their needs are being met, and figure out which issues are specific to them.
