The AARP Member Opinion Survey (MOS) is the largest single survey of AARP Members.  This dual mode survey is conducted every few years and informs AARP about the opinions, perceptions, and experiences of its members. Beginning with the initial effort in 1994, the survey uses data to gain better insight into what members care about most; their top interests and concerns, how they spend their time, what their life experiences are, and much more.
