Accessing VETSA Data
Deidentified VETSA 1 data are now accessible through the VETSA PIs and will soon be available via the ICPSR website.
VETSA 2 data will be available in late 2015.
- The Basic Process:
There are 4 simple steps for qualified researchers interested in using VETSA data:
- Take a look at the list showing many of the VETSA measures.
- Fill out and submit a Data Request Form; we will send you a complete data dictionary.
- If the request is approved, you will be asked to fill out and submit a Data Use Agreement (DUA).
- Upon receipt of the signed DUA, we will provide the relevant data.
