Charting Trends in Rural Sociology: 1986-1995
Christenson and Garkovich (1985) reported on trends in the first 50 years of Rural Sociology; this note employs a similar analytic framework for the 292 articles and research commentaries published from 1986 to 1995.

Predictions in 1985 as to what the next retrospective would show proved to …

Population and Community in Rural America focuses on migration as the primary force for population change in rural America. Within smaller, m…

Modern contraceptive practice in rural Appalachia
This paper examines contraceptive practice in a traditionally high fertility and economically disadvantaged rural county of central Appalachia. A key consideration is the extent to which the modernization of birth control observed nationally has diffused to and been adopted within this rural area. Data from the community study indicate that professional family planning services are, in fact, widely available and easily accessible to the vast majo…
