VIReC Research User Guides

VIReC produces Research User Guides for selected VA data sources that are utilized by researchers. The guides describe the contents of the data sources, give information on requesting access, and provide bibliographies of reported research applications of the data. All Guides are PDF documents; some are large and may take time to download.

The VIReC Web site also includes full descriptions of the VHA Decision Support System (DSS) (both production data and National Data Extracts), the VHA Medical SAS Datasets (including SAS® proc contents), and the Pharmacy Benefits Management database.

The following publications are in format.
