Welcome to the
UK Veterans Family Study
The UK Veterans Family Study (UKVFS) is a unique, large scale, tri-service (Royal Navy, Army, & Royal Air Force) research project funded by the Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) and the Big Lottery Fund.
The research for UKVFS is being conducted by Prof Chérie Armour at Queen’s University Belfast and Professor Nicola Fear at King’s College London and aims to understand how social and psychological factors determine wellbeing and mental health of veteran families in the UK.
Each component of the study will take place across the UK in 2021-22 and is being conducted in partnership with; Glasgow Caledonian University; Anglia Ruskin University; Veterans NHS Wales and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board; and Combat Stress.
The study involves an online survey and in-depth interviews to explore the wellbeing of veteran family members and veterans as well as experiences of support and transition to civilian life.
