Description
For veterans (ARMFEV) who received health care services from any VA specialist other than their VA primary care provider or Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) in the last year, and whose VA health care specialist was not aware that they received health care services from outside the VA during that period (VET12MSPAWRNV), VET12MSPUNAWRNV indicates whether the respondent felt that this lack of awareness was a problem for them. Answer choices include "Not a problem", "A small problem", and "A big problem". The VSAQ questionnaire specifies that this question pertains to the VA specialist the respondent saw the most often in the last year other than their VA primary care provider or Patient Aligned Care
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.
