Abstract
Background/Aims Rural health describes a set of health issues, health care challenges and research priorities driven by a single geo-demographic factor: low population density. Rural areas compared to urbanized areas have fewer providers per capita, longer distance to care, lower socioeconomic status, higher rates of untreated illness, greater exposure to agricultural chemicals, and higher rates of alcohol use, fatal motor vehicle crashes, and suicide. Accessing clinical data for large numbers of rural residents can be challenging. To meet this challenge, seven sites formed the HMORN Rural Health Scientific Interest Group (SIG).
