Examining the association between rurality and positive childhood experiences among a national sample
PURPOSE: The present study examines the association between rurality and positive childhood experiences (PCEs) among children and adolescents across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Recent work has quantified the prevalence of PCEs at the national level, but these studies have been based on public use data files, which lack rurality information for 19 states. METHODS: Data for this cross-sectional analysis were drawn from 2016 to 2018 …
Availability of hospital‐based cancer services before and after rural hospital closure, 2008‐2017
INTRODUCTION: Rural populations have less access to cancer care services and experience higher cancer mortality rates than their urban counterparts, which may be exacerbated by hospital closures. Our objective was to examine the impact of hospital closures on access to cancer-relevant hospital services across hospital service areas (HSAs). METHODS: We used American Hospital Association survey data from 2008 to 2017 to examine the change in access…

Thirty‐Day Readmission Rates Among Dual‐Eligible Beneficiaries
PURPOSE: Dual-eligible beneficiaries represented 19% of Medicare and 14% of Medicaid enrollment in 2009. Of Medicare discharges among dually eligible beneficiaries, 21.5% resulted in a 30-day rehospitalization. Little has been published regarding dual-eligible beneficiaries' readmission rates and factors affecting readmission. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of Medicare claims, restricted to 297,084 beneficiaries with a hospitali…
Adapting the Index of Relative Rurality (IRR) to Estimate Rurality at the ZIP Code Level
BACKGROUND: Accurate analysis of health problems facing rural residents depends on how rurality is defined. Health services research relies frequently on the rural urban commuting area (RUCA) codes to estimate rurality at the small area level. We modified the county-level Index of Relative Rurality (IRR) to the ZIP code level (IRRZIP ) to create an alternative small-area-level rural classification system. We then compared how the 2 rural classifi…
Impact of South Carolina's Medicaid fluoride varnish reimbursement policy on children's receipt of fluoride varnish in medical and dental settings

This was linked to the 2009 Ho…
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…
Osteoporosis Recognition
Gehlbach et al.1 analyzed 1993–1997 data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) to determine the degree to which primary care physicians recognized osteoporosis. The authors’ analysis suggested that primary care physicians were underdiagnosing and, in consequence, undertreating this condition. Specifically, Gehlbach et al. reported that fewer than 2% of elderly White women were correctly diagnosed, while the estimated prevalence…
