Sinopsis

Rural Health: A Framework for Understanding the Issues and Their Impact on Rural Populations examines the factors that affect health care access and health status of individuals who live in rural areas.

The text employs a unique structure called the Rural Health Framework, a methodology created by the authors during their years of teaching rural health at the undergraduate and graduate level. This framework challenges students to collect data and facts about rural areas to help them better understand rural health issues. The book emphasizes the complexity of rural health, the interprofessional nature of rural health care, and the importance of appropriate health care interventions for rural populations.

The opening chapter provides readers with an overview of rural health terms and concepts. Additional chapters explore how geographic, economic, sociocultural, demographic, and support factors can impact heath status, access, and outcomes. The final chapter features an array of rural health case assessments to help students connect theory to real-world practice.

Offering students an innovative and essential approach, Rural Health is an exemplary resource for courses in nursing, public health, medicine, social work, nutrition, and allied health.
