Alana Knudson, PhD and Michael Meit, MA, MPH from the North Dakota and NORC Rural Health Reform Policy Research Center will present findings from The 2014 Update of the Rural-Urban Chartbook.
The Chartbook presents information on population
demographics, health-related behaviors and risk factors,
age-specific and cause-specific mortality, access to
care, health insurance coverage, mental health, and other
health-related topics for U.S. residents across levels of
rural and urban status.
Findings suggest that the nation's health has generally
improved over the past decade; however, urban/rural
disparities in health status and access to care persist
across a variety of measures, and have grown for some
measures.
The 2014 Chartbook is an update to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention report titled: Health,
United States, 2001 With Urban and Rural Health
Chartbook.
