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.
