Geographic differences in contraception provision and utilization among federally funded family planning clinics in South Carolina and Alabama
PURPOSE: Access to the full range of contraceptive options is essential to providing patient-centered reproductive health care. Women living in rural areas often experience more barriers to contraceptive care than women living in urban areas. Therefore, federally funded family planning clinics are important for ensuring women have access to contraceptive care, especially in rural areas. This study examines contraceptive provision, factors support…

Contraceptive Use and Pregnancy Outcomes Among Women Enrolled in South Carolina Medicaid Programs
Adolescent Birth Rates and Rural–Urban Differences by Levels of Deprivation and Health Professional Shortage Areas in the United States, 2017–2018
Objectives. To examine the differences in adolescent birth rates by deprivation and Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) in rural and urban counties of the United States in 2017 and 2018. Methods. We analyzed available data on birth rates for females aged 15 to 19 years in the United States using the restricted-use natality files from the National Center for Health Statistics, American Community Survey 5-year population estimates, and the A…
Contraceptive Use Patterns among Women of Reproductive Age in Two Southeastern States
Funding and Service Delivery in Rural and Urban Local US Health Departments in 2010 and 2016
Objectives. To investigate differences in funding and service delivery between rural and urban local health departments (LHDs) in the United States. Methods. In this repeated cross-sectional study, we examined rural–urban differences in funding and service provision among LHDs over time using 2010 and 2016 National Association of County and City Health Officials data. Results. Local revenue among urban LHDs (41.2%) was higher than that in large r…
The Intersection of Residence, Community Vulnerability, and Premature Mortality
PURPOSE: Rural communities often experience higher rates of mortality than their urban counterparts, with gaps widening in the foreseeable future. However, the underlying level of socioeconomic vulnerability (area deprivation) among rural communities can vary widely. This study examines rural-urban differences in mortality-related outcomes within comparable levels of deprivation. METHODS: Rural-urban differences in Years of Potential Life Lost (Y…

Methods. We examined infant cohorts with continuous Medicaid coverage and normal birth weights from 1995 to 2010. Outcome variables included any EPS…
