The Understanding America Study (UAS) is a panel at the University of Southern California (USC) of approximately 15,000 individuals representing the entire United States. The study is an ‘Internet Panel,’ which means that respondents answer our surveys on a computer, tablet, or smart phone, wherever they are and whenever they wish to participate.

Yucatan Aging Data
With the State of Yucatan, Mexico, we designed a non-contributory social security program for towns with more than 20,000 inhabitants, and evaluated its impact on the welfare of residents 70 years or over. We employed a quasi-experimental and randomized design with treatment and control groups and measurements before and after the intervention.
CESR Education Project
The CESR Center for Applied Research in Education (CARE) poses questions to the subset of UAS panel households with at least one K-12 child. Data collection began in March 2020 when COVID initially shut down schools and has continued since.
