Description: Publications from this research will be made available to the public through the National Library of Medicine PubMed Central website within one year after the date of publication (guidance is provided on the ORD website). MEDVAMC will not provide unrestricted, open public access to large scale health related datasets because of re-identification concerns and the obligation to protect Veterans' private information. However, controlled public access will be provided to the greatest extent possible under specific DUAs or other written agreements, and open access will be provided to the final datasets underlying peer-reviewed publications (aggregated data that can be released with privacy and confidentiality risks).
