Department of Defense Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation Program (CCEP)
Description
The Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation Program (CCEP), created by the Department of
Defense (DOD) in 1994, provides information collected from participating sites across the
country on Gulf War veterans and their families. The database contains data on
self-selected individuals. During the evaluations, demographic information, self-reported
exposures and syndromes, diagnostic codes, and clinical and laboratory data are collected.
The database is available to qualified science researchers.
