Rural Bypass of Critical Access Hospitals in Iowa: Do Visiting Surgical Specialists Make a Difference?
ConclusionIn addition to known patient and local hospital factors that have an influence on bypass behavior among rural patients seeking elective surgery, availability of surgeon specialists also plays an important role in whether patients bypass or not. Visiting ophthalmologists and orthopedic surgeons were associated with less bypass, as was having local general surgeons. Visiting general surgeons, urologists, and obstetricians were associated with greater odds of bypass. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)

ConclusionsAttitudes and values, like self‐reliance, commonly associated with rural culture may play an important role in underutilization of needed mental health services.

Older Rural ‐ and Urban‐Dwelling Appalachian Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment
DiscussionNo differences were found between rural and urban Appalachian residents on MCI symptom severity. However, urban residents reported a longer time lapse from symptom identification to diagnosis than their rural counterparts. Future studies using more representative population samples of Appalachian and non‐Appalachian adults will provide an important next step to identifying disparate cognitive health outcomes in this traditionally underserved region.
