AARP Closer LookSM is a nationwide survey program, commissioned by AARP, to understand the effect of social and economic changes among middle-aged and older Americans. AARP Closer LookSM consists of a quarterly “core” tracking survey and topical surveys that look at specific issues for the 45+ population related to health, finances, and livable communities.
 
The baseline Core survey was conducted from July 22 to August 3, 2009, among a nationally representative sample of 939 respondents age 45 and older. Subsequent waves will indicate changes in the condition of the 45+ population and will be administered on a quarterly basis.
