Accessing VETSA Data
Deidentified VETSA Wave 1, 2 and 3 data are now accessible through the VETSA PIs and will soon be available via the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA) website.

Deidentified VETSA 4 data will be available in 2025.

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.
