The target audience of the survey are adults who have assisted (unpaid) someone age 55 or older at least once a month for the last 12 months with any of the following:
- Companionship or checking in by phone or in person
- Household tasks like cooking, cleaning, shopping or yardwork
- Personal care like dressing or grooming
- Transportation
- Managing bills, insurance or legal matters
- Responding to medical or other emergencies
