review of novel, emerging and alternative mental health interventions for women veterans

this funding opportunity is seeking submissions from researchers to conduct a literature review exploring which novel, emerging, and/or adjunct mental health interventions are most promising in their capacity to address women veterans’ mental health needs. researchers may also choose to focus their review on evaluating the evidence for one or more specific interventions while demonstrating their applicability to women veterans’ mental health.

researchers are encouraged to use a broad search strategy so that applicable research relevant to women’s’ mental health within different militaries and contexts is included. research conducted internationally, including the united states of america, united kingdom, new zealand and australia, should be considered. researchers are also encouraged to expand the search strategy beyond veterans to include serving military members.

studies from grey literature should be captured in addition to peer-reviewed literature. sub-analysis or interpretation may be needed to demonstrate generalizability to the canadian veteran population.

researchers are expected to follow established methods for reviews (i.e., prisma). some members of the research team should have previous experience with conducting and publishing high-quality literature reviews.
