What Challenges Do Nonprofit Hospitals Face in Taking on Community Health Needs Assessments? A Qualitative Study From Appalachian Ohio
ConclusionsThe results from these interviews suggest that there is significant support for new CHNA activities in Appalachian Ohio, but challenges remain to translate these efforts into improved health outcomes in this region. Because rural Appalachia, in particular, faces significant health disparities and a relative lack of health care providers, there is a potential for hospitals to take on an important role in public and preventive health if initial challenges are addressed.

Improvements in Colorectal Cancer Incidence Not Experienced by Nonmetropolitan Women: A Population ‐Based Study From Utah
ConclusionsWhile we observed a decreasing incidence of CRC among men and women in Utah, this effect was not seen in women in nonmetropolitan areas nor among those with unstaged disease. Further studies should evaluate factors that may account for these differences. This analysis can inform interventions with a focus on women in nonmetropolitan areas.

Availability of Long ‐Acting Reversible Contraception in Kansas Health Departments
ConclusionsLARC methods are not commonly available in Kansas LHDs. Small LHDs in a rural state like Kansas could benefit from increased capacity to provide LARC to populations with limited access to health care. An increase in funding to prevent unintended pregnancy through expanded LARC access could result in substantial state savings and lead to fewer unintended pregnancies.

Rural ‐Urban Differences in Access to Preventive Health Care Among Publicly Insured Minnesotans
ConclusionsDiscrimination, cost of care, and uncertainty about insurance coverage inhibit access in both the rural and urban samples. These barriers are worthy targets of interventions for publicly insured populations regardless of residence. Future studies should investigate additional factors associated with access disparities based on rural‐urban residence. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)
