Research protocol

On 16 September 2006, the (then) Government announced that the Centre for Military and Veterans’ Health (CMVH) was appointed to develop a “sound and workable” research protocol for a Health Study of the Sons and Daughters of Vietnam Veterans.

CMVH developed a research protocol that enables research to begin earlier than first expected. As soon as research outcomes are available, DVA will be able to ensure that the right services are available to the children and the partners of Vietnam Veterans.

The Research Protocol report and other information on the research is available below:
