This page provides an interactive gateway to explore data from the Understanding America Study (UAS).
We currently offer tools to interactively explore the UAS Core Surveys and the UAS Monthly Surveys.

UAS Core Survey Data

UAS core surveys include the complete Health and Retirement Study (HRS) instrument and modules that elicit personality, cognition, financial literacy, expenditure, and financial outcomes, labor force status, retirement, knowledge of Social Security rules, subjective well-being, physical and mental health. These surveys are administered to the entire panel every two years and are compiled in the UAS Comprehensive File.

Interact and visualize UAS core survey data across different waves and years.

UAS Monthly Panel Survey Data

Since October 2023, the UAS has conducted Monthly Surveys, administered to all panel members. These surveys ask respondents whether they have experienced a range of life events recently, and cover topics such as health status, pain levels, and subjective well-being.
