(Survey of Enrollees).

care choices, the data collected include enrollees' perceived health 
status and need for caregiver support, available insurances, self-
reported utilization of VA services versus other health care services, 
reasons for using VA, barriers to seeking care, ability and comfort 
level with accessing virtual care, as well as general demographics and 
family characteristics that may influence utilization but cannot be 
accessed elsewhere.
