LAY SUMMARY Incarcerated Veterans represent 2.5% of the federal offender population and are a unique subset of the general Canadian Veteran population. This study provides the first in-depth examination of Veteran offenders in federal custody. During the study period, 374 federal offenders self-reported as Veterans. Federal Veteran offenders were older and more likely to have committed a violent offence and to have mental health concerns. Although they were more likely to report mental health concerns, Veteran offenders have more stable institutional behaviour and greater post-release success than non-Veterans. Understanding the unique characteristics and correctional experiences of federal Veteran offenders aids in identifying needs related to intervention and support to promote successful community reintegration after release. Future qualitative research should enhance knowledge of the lived experiences of Veterans involved in the federal criminal justice system in Canada.

LAY SUMMARY During the Second World War, Canada became a leader in the development and production of products used to treat shock, particularly shock caused by massive bleeds. Canada started the first blood service in response to the need for blood products overseas. This was done in the form of freeze-dried serum, which is made up of fluid-based proteins extracted from blood. Freeze-dried serum could be stored indefinitely and was lightweight, hardy, and easy to deliver both to the battlefield and to the patient. Freeze-dried serum could be provided to patients in shock as a result of losing a large volume of blood. Unfortunately, after the war, freeze-dried blood products fell out of favour over concerns about viral hepatitis. Recently, freeze-dried blood products have enjoyed a renaissance, and Canada is currently developing a new product to meet the challenges of remote resuscitation.

LAY SUMMARY Cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) continues to be recommended as the first-line treatment for an increasing number of Veterans seeking help for insomnia. Unfortunately, these recommendations are made on the basis of evidence from the general public, who do not experience the same predisposing, activating, and maintaining causes of insomnia as Veterans. This review considers whether CBT-I really addresses the causes of insomnia among Veterans, which can be labelled as functional (e.g., caffeine use) and traumatic (e.g., nightmares). Nine randomized controlled trials of CBT-I delivered to Veterans having trouble falling or staying asleep were reviewed. Evidence was not consistent enough to support the continued recommendation of CBT-I as a first-line treatment for insomnia among Veterans. On a wider level, the authors question whether psychological causes of a mental health problem are always, or should be, fully considered in the process of creating clinical guidelines for treatment.

LAY SUMMARY Injuries can affect the operational readiness, wellness, and careers of Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) personnel. Many injuries are preventable; thus, it is important for the CAF to create a sustainable, accurate, and timely injury surveillance system (ISS) that can be used to describe injury incidence, populations at risk, and other causal factors to effectively direct injury prevention efforts. As a first step in the creation of an ISS, the authors conducted a rapid environmental scan that included a review of both the peer-reviewed scientific literature and publicly available information, along with an internal organization scan, to gather information on ISS facilitators, barriers, recommendations, data sources, and potential injury indicators. The results of this work will be used to plan the next steps in the development and implementation of the CAF ISS. In addition, this information can be used to facilitate engagement and collaboration with stakeholders and decision makers to ensure that the ISS collects and reports key data needed to target and prioritize interventions most likely to have the greatest impact on reducing injuries and improving the health and operational readiness of CAF personnel.

LAY SUMMARY Injuries are a common occurrence during basic military training. These injuries have the potential to influence recruits’ health and performance throughout their military careers. This study examined various factors that can influence the health of Canadian recruits during basic training and their chances of experiencing an injury. Open-ended survey responses were collected at the end of basic military training from 1,540 recruits. Several factors — including poor nutrition, aspects of physical training (frequency, intensity), apprehension regarding obtaining medical attention, and not enough rest — may be important considerations when developing injury prevention strategies for this population.
