Rural residents have higher rates of age-adjusted mortality,
disability, and chronic disease than their urban counterparts,
though mortality and disability rates vary more by region than by
metro status. Contributing negatively to the health status of rural
residents and their lower socio-economic status, are higher
incidences of both smoking and obesity, workplace hazards, and
lower levels of physical activity. This book examines issues facing
rural America today including the baby boom migration and its
impact on rural America; broadband internet availability; the
health status and health care access of farm and rural populations;
The Rural Education Achievement Program created to address the
unique needs of rural schools, and rural water supply and sewer
systems.
