    Abstract
    In 2010, with a grant from the U.S. Administration on Aging, the Eldercare Locator partnered with the Center for Gerontology and the Center for Survey Research at Virginia Tech to conduct a telephone survey with Baby Boomers and older adults to identify the type of aging-related information they are most interesting, their concerns about aging, their interests in using long-term services and supports in the future, their likely contact for aging information, and finally their preferred ways of getting information about aging topics. Overall the findings of the study point to common interests as well as distinct needs for information among Baby Boomers and older adults.
