Introduction Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers self-report high levels of mental health disorder symptoms, such as alcohol use disorder, generalized anxiety major depressive panic and posttraumatic stress disorder. Participation in regular monitoring has been associated with improved symptom reporting may provide an accessible tool to support RCMP health. The current study assessed relationships between self-reported symptoms the completion daily surveys (i.e., monitoring) by cadets during Cadet Training Program (CTP).
