Although most veterans obtain healthcare outside the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA), most veteran research is conducted in VA
healthcare settings and does not address the health or healthcare of the
vast majority of veterans. We describe VA and Department of Defense
administrative databases available for identification of veterans for
research studies. Use of these databases will expand the pool of
potential research subjects beyond VA healthcare users. Veterans and
those engaged in clinical practice, policy, and research involving
veterans may benefit from findings generated from research studies that
include the perspective of both VA users and veterans who do not use VA
healthcare. Donna L. Washington, MD, MPH, et al. Database Contribution
