Description
For persons who have served on active duty in U.S. Armed Forces, Reserves, or National Guard in the past, but not currently (ARMFEV), VETRX indicates whether the person has received services for prescription medication since discharge from military service, and whether or not that service was received from the VA (Veterans Administration).
This variable is part of the Veteran Self-Administered Questionnaire (VSAQ), which was fielded in 2018 and 2019 and collected information on veterans' health conditions and health care services. Estimates using VSAQ variables should rely on survey weights VETWEIGHT. See ARMFEV for a full list of variables from the VSAQ.
