PURPOSE: This study examines primary and specialty health care among rural and urban Veterans with three common chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs): fibromyalgia, migraine, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the impact of both rural residence and rural primary care site on access to specialty care. METHODS: The cohort included all Veterans treated for fibromyalgia, migraine, and/or IBS in the VA in 2022. The frequency of outpatient pr…

This study investigates the impact of rurality on pain care for women specifically, and whether this varies from the impact of rurality for men. METHODS: A cohor…

OBJECTIVE: Estimate HIV testing rates among recent service Veterans with an STI diagnosis and variation in testing rates by patient characteristics. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The sample comprised 243,843 Veterans who initiated Veterans Health Administration (VHA) servic…
