Despite current population movement towards urban areas, rural
people remain a significant yet under-served population. According
to the most recent statistics, 19% of the US and 20% of the
Canadian populations reside in rural areas. These communities share
a rich and distinctive culture, but also face specific problems
including higher rates of poverty, increased rates of obesity and
other chronic health problems, and decreased access to health
coverage and social services. For any social worker to provide
competent assistance to these communities it is essential that they
comprehend both the culture of rural peoples and the specific
problems they face. This book provides a survey of the many issues
related to rural social work organized around the major content
areas of the social work curriculum. The author addresses a wide
range of practice issues including culture and behavior, diversity,
social policy, and ethics of work.
