"In this report, the 2019 VSMS uses the military career records for over 230,000 former Canadian Armed Forces personnel linked to Canadian death records at Statistics Canada for the period 1976 to 2014. Suicides were identified by cause of death classification from provincial and territorial coroners’ reports. Age-adjusted rates were calculated to examine trends over time. Standardised Mortality Ratios were calculated to compare the magnitude of suicide risk in Veterans to that of the Canadian general population"--Executive Summary, page 1.
