Launched in 2019, the RCMP Longitudinal Study was setup to investigate Operational Stress Injuries (OSIs) and other Posttraumatic Stress Injuries (PTSIs), including but not limited to, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), among RCMP officers. The RCMP Study was designed to build solutions for protecting and improving member and employee mental health. The RCMP Study was also designed to build soltuions for identifying problematic stress early in the member careers, facilitating early access to effective mental health care, and providing evidence-based recommendations.
Our vision is to help produce the healthiest, most resilient officers ever trained – anywhere.
To achieve these goals, the RCMP Study program developed and deployed purpose-built research technologies, infrastructure, and a comprehensive evidence-based app. The RCMP Study results have produced innovative evidence-based mental health training and monitoring tools. The RCMP Study solutions have made possible evidence-based mental health self-monitoring tools and proactive training, built specifically for the RCMP, that are cost-effective, and can now be made available to all trauma-exposed professionals. To learn more about the next steps, please visit the Psychological Trauma and Stress Systems Lab (www.ptsslab.ca).
The RCMP Study has completed data collection and is no longer accepting participants. We would like to thank the study RCMP Cadets and Members for participants in the study along with the RCMP, and the National Police Force for partnering with the university of Regina for the innovative study.
Research results will continue to be shared on the research page.
