2007 Internet Survey

Beginning in June 2007, a sub sample (N=3,721) of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) participated in an Internet based survey developed jointly by the HRS, Survey Research Center (SRC), Institute for Social Research (ISR), at the University of Michigan, and the RAND Corporation. Funding for the 2007 Internet Survey was provided by the National Institute on Aging at NIH (R01 AG020638). Completed interviews were obtained from 2,665 HRS respondents.

The 2007 Internet Survey Final Release (Version 1.0) collected information on a number of topical areas, including Internet/computers, health and emotional problems, Social Security, numeracy items, psychosocial items, household composition, expectations, questions about housing/checking accounts, and stocks and prescription drug usage and insurance. The 2007 Internet Survey is the third in a series of surveys that will be conducted on the Internet.
