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:

  1. Take a look at the list showing many of the VETSA measures.
  2. Fill out and submit a Data Request Form; we will send you a complete data dictionary.
  3. If the request is approved, you will be asked to fill out and submit a Data Use Agreement (DUA).
  4. Upon receipt of the signed DUA, we will provide the relevant data.
