Rural-Urban Differences in Health Insurance Coverage and Patterns Among Working-Age Adults in Kentucky
CONTEXT: Past studies show that rural populations are less likely than urban populations to have health insurance coverage, which may severely limit their access to needed health services. PURPOSE: To examine rural-urban differences in various aspects of health insurance coverage among working-age adults in Kentucky. METHODS: Data are from a household survey conducted in Kentucky in 2005. The respondents include 2,036 individuals ages 18-64. Biva…
Enhancing the Care Continuum in Rural Areas
Context: Community Health Centers (CHCs) and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) play a significant role in providing health services for rural residents across the United States. Purpose: The overall goal of this study was to identify the CAHs that have collaborations with CHCs, as well as to recognize the content of the collaborations and the barriers and facilitators to collaborations. Methods: The target population was CAHs within 60 miles of CH…

Disparities in Access to Care Among Rural Working‐age Adults
Context: Nationally, minority population disparities in health and in the receipt of health services are well documented but are infrequently examined within rural populations. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a national picture of health insurance coverage and access to care among rural minorities. Methods: A cross‐sectional analysis using the 1999–2000 National Health Interview Surveys examined insurance status and receipt of am…
Person and Place
Rural racial/ethnic minorities constitute a forgotten population. The limited research addressing rural Black, Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaska Native populations suggests that disparities in health and in health care access found among rural racial/ethnic minority populations are generally more severe than those among urban racial/ethnic minorities. We suggest that disparities must be understood as both collective and contextual phenomena. R…

Economic Impact of Hospital Closure on Small Rural Counties, 1984 to 1988
Hospital closure in a rural community may affect the locale's economic prospects as well as the health of its residents. Studies of economic effects have primarily relied on modeling techniques rather than observation of actual change. This study demonstrates the use of a comparative analysis approach for estimating the economic effects of hospital closure on small rural counties. The experiences of 203 small rural counties at which a hospital cl…
Community and migrant health centers
This article is a descriptive revenue profile of Community and Migrant Health Centers providing preventive and primary health care services to underserved rural and urban populations throughout the United States. The study is a secondary data analysis of the 1994 Bureau Common Reporting Requirements (BCRR) reports of the 626 Community and Migrant Health Centers to the Bureau of Primary Health Care. The purpose of the analysis is to examine the so…
Physician Practice Characteristics and Satisfaction
For this study, the association between physician practice characteristics and satisfaction of medical directors at rural and urban Community and Migrant Health Centers (C/MHCs) was investigated. Data for this study came from a 1996 cross‐sectional survey of C/MHCs' medical directors. A total of 411 centers (68.3 percent) responded to the survey, including 240 rural (67.4 percent) and 171 urban (68.7 percent) C/MHCs. Factor analysis was used to s…
Rural Primary Care Program Survival
This study examines the effect of financial characteristics of rural primary care programs on the probability of their continuing as federally funded entities. A randomly selected national cohort of rural primary care programs (n=162) was used to compare financial measures of programs that were continuing and those that were noncontinuing. Financial data were obtained from 1978‐1987 Bureau Common Reporting Requirements (BCRR) forms submitted to t…
The Determinants of Utilization of Nonphysician Providers in Rural Community and Migrant Health Centers
The use of nonphysician providers, such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse midwives, in rural areas is critically important due to the continued primary care access problems. This study examines the major factors influencing the use of nonphysician providers in rural community and migrant health centers based on a 1991 national survey of the centers. This study demonstrates that the employment of nonphysician provid…
Affecting the supply of rural physicians
A model describing physician supply and distribution is described. Two surveys obtained information to examine elements of the model. The first survey identified a group of primary care physicians that had considered rural locations but ultimately selected an urban location. This sub-group, 29 per cent of the primary care supply pool, received a follow-up survey to provide more information about how they made their choice. About one-half of them …
