Rural Health Research in the 21st Century
I read with interest the commentary on rural health research in the 21st century by Moloney and associates in the December 16, 2024 issue of Journal of Rural Health.1 In the commentary, the authors begin with the premise that “rural health research...has faced significant challenges in defining rural area, methodological constraints in studying dispersed populations, and complex social and cultural factors.” The authors present reasonable 21st-ce…
The impact of a personal cancer diagnosis on adolescent and young adult cancer survivors' social connectedness
Adolescent/young adult cancer survivors (AYACS) are diagnosed with cancer between 15 and 39 years of age. Improving AYACS' survivorship quality is crucial-including improving social connectedness, a construct describing the quality, structure and function of social relationships. With better understanding of AYACS' social connectedness, network-based interventions can be developed to foster social health. This study explored how a personal cancer…
If not for this support, I would have left the treatment
Social support has been identified as a significant factor in addressing treatment barriers and facilitating treatment adherence. Using a descriptive design, this qualitative study aims at sharing personal feelings and social support-related experiences among pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients in Western India. A semi-structured interview guide was designed, and thirty-seven in-depth interviews were conducted. Descriptive thematic analysis was …
LionVu 2.0 Usability Assessment for Pennsylvania, United States
The Penn State Cancer Initiative implemented LionVu 1.0 (Penn State University, United States) in 2017 as a web-based mapping tool to educate and inform public health professionals about the cancer burden in Pennsylvania and 28 counties in central Pennsylvania, locally known as the catchment area. The purpose of its improvement, LionVu 2.0, was to assist investigators answer person–place–time questions related to cancer and its risk factors by ex…
Rural-urban differences in the association between individual, facility, and clinical characteristics and travel time for cancer treatment
To better understand patient travel burden, providers need to understand that factors predicting longer travel time may vary by rurality of patient residence and cancer type
Health Care Avoidance Among Rural Populations
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that certain populations, including rural residents, exhibit health care avoidant behaviors more frequently than other groups. Additionally, health care avoidance is related to sociodemographics, attitudes, social expectations, ability to pay for care, and prior experiences with providers. However, previous studies have been limited to specific geographic areas, particular health conditions, or by analytic m…
Barriers to CRC Screening Among Latino Adults in Pennsylvania
A targeted approach for CRC screening among Latinos may be better than the nontargeted approach
Community Partnerships, Food Pantries, and an Evidence‐Based Intervention to Increase Mammography Among Rural Women
Context: Multiple national agencies and organizations recommend that women age 40 years and older have an annual screening mammogram. Women who are poor, less educated, lack a usual source of care, and reside in rural Appalachia are less likely to have had a recent mammogram. Purpose: To increase use of mammography among a rural Appalachian population. Methods: Formed in 1992, the Indiana County Cancer Coalition (ICCC) serves the cancer control n…
Informing geospatial toolset design
Cancer Incidence in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia
CONTEXT: Composed of all or a portion of 13 states, Appalachia is a heterogeneous, economically disadvantaged region of the eastern United States. While mortality from cancer in Appalachia has previously been reported to be elevated, rates of cancer incidence in Appalachia remain unreported. PURPOSE: To estimate Appalachian cancer incidence by stage and site and to determine if incidence was greater than that in the United States. METHODS: Using …
Combining Usability Techniques to Design Geovisualization Tools for Epidemiology
Designing usable geovisualization tools is an emerging problem in GIScience software development. We are often satisfied that a new method provides an innovative window on our data, but functionality alone is insufficient assurance that a tool is applicable to a problem in situ. As extensions of the static methods they evolved from, geovisualization tools are bound to enable new knowledge creation. We have yet to learn how to adapt techniques fro…
The Appalachia Cancer Network
Residents of Appalachia, especially those in rural Appalachia, are generally considered to be medically underserved. In fact, cancer mortality in Appalachia, especially in rural Appalachia, is higher than it is in the remainder of the United States. Developing from the Appalachia Leadership Initiative on Cancer, the Appalachia Cancer Network (ACN) is a network of academic and community organizations that seek to conduct surveillance, intervention…
