Editorial Review:
Rural residents, who make up a large number of the population, experience social, cultural, and economic disadvantages that can increase their risks for devastating health consequences.The first of its kind, this book provides a comprehensive sociological treatment of trends in rural USA health and health care. The editors have presented both integrative reviews of theory and research on rural health issues, as well as the most up-to-date findings of empirical research. This book emphasizes differences between rural and urban areas in health and health care, and chapter authors report the interactions of gender, race, social class, region, and age or life course stage with different substantive health issues.Past research has examined morbidity differentials between rural and urban areas, but surprisingly little research has examined differences in disability and mortality rates by place of residence or degree of rurality—this book does! This informative and groundbreaking text/reference goes beyond the prior studies by examining health and well-being of rural people at All stages of the life cycle with the most up-to-date statistics available!
