This innovative resource offers a unique, multidisciplinary
approach for the utilization of planning theory to eliminate health
disparities in rural communities. The book provides tools in the
public health, policy, and planning disciplines to help resolve
significant differences in life expectancy and quality of life in
these communities, concluding with a progressive vision for
alleviating geographical health disparities on a local, national,
and global scale. Chapters highlight models and approaches best
suited to addressing this public health concern, suggesting action
strategies focused around each of the three focus areas: 1. Public
health: Elucidation of the contextual factors impacting the health
of rural communities by: reporting statistical updates on a range
of chronic and infectious diseases that disproportionately affect
rural populations both globally and in the U.S.; providing
discourse on the importance of addressing critical social
determinants (global and national) that impede optimal health
outcomes among rural populations; and, acknowledging the
compositional factors of individuals who reside in rural spaces. 2.
Public policy: Application of specific policy models to garner both
public and political will towards sustainable policy change to
improve healthy living in rural spaces. 3. Rural planning:
Identification of national and international planning models that
can be used to design strategic plans targeted to improve quality
of life, create sustainable development, and establish economic
well-being and growth in rural communities. Rural Health
Disparities: Public Health, Policy, and Planning Approaches will
find an engaged audience among non-profit organizations, planners,
public health practitioners, policy analysts, and public interest
groups, as well as rural health advocates and students enrolled in
planning, public policy, and/or public health courses.
