A Facebook Follow ‐Up Strategy for Rural Drug‐Using Women
ConclusionsFindings suggest that FB is widely used and well accepted among rural drug‐using women. Among hard‐to‐reach populations, including those in rural, geographically isolated regions, FB serves as a method to improve participant follow‐up. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)

Hospital Distance and Readmissions Among VA ‐Medicare Dual‐Enrolled Veterans
ConclusionsCOPD patients with poor geographic access to VA hospitals did not forgo subsequent inpatient care following their index hospitalization, but they were more likely to seek non‐VA substitutes. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)

A Community ‐Engaged Approach to Collecting Rural Health Surveillance Data
ConclusionsThe implications of this project are that engaging stakeholders in community surveillance efforts increases the quality, relevance and utility of the information collected and can help reach otherwise difficult‐to‐reach populations. This can result in a more accurate picture of the health status of residents, which can lead to making health‐related, data‐driven decisions concerning resource allocation, needed services, and intervention priorities.

Risk Factors for In ‐Hospital Mortality in Heart Failure Patients: Does Rurality, Payer or Admission Source Matter?
ConclusionIncreasing age, comorbidity and length of stay were risk factors for in‐hospital death for heart failure. An understanding of the risk factors for in‐hospital death is critical to improving outcomes of care for heart failure patients. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)

Mental Health, Racial Discrimination, and Tobacco Use Differences Across Rural ‐Urban California
ConclusionResiding in rural areas was associated with an increased risk for smoking, above and beyond sociodemographics. There were no significant differences across rural‐urban environments for the relationship between stress and tobacco use—an indication that the impact of stress and discrimination is not buffered or exacerbated by environmental characteristics potentially found in either location. Mechanisms that explain rural‐urban tobacco use disparities need to be explored, and smoking cessation programs and policies should be tailored to target these factors within rural communities.

Long ‐Term Trends in Black and White Mortality in the Rural United States: Evidence of a Race‐Specific Rural Mortality Penalty
ConclusionsThe rural mortality penalty is evident in race‐specific mortality trends over time, with an added disadvantage in black mortality. The rate of mortality improvement for rural blacks and whites lags behind their same‐race, urban counterparts, creating a diverging gap in race‐specific mortality trends in rural America.

Assessing Differences in the Availability of Opioid Addiction Therapy Options: Rural Versus Urban and American Indian Reservation Versus Nonreservation
ConclusionsIt appears that the potential for Washington State residents of rural and AI reservation areas to receive OAT is similar to that of residents outside of those areas; however, difficulties in accessing therapy may remain, highlighting the importance of expanding health care insurance and providing support for DATA‐waivered physicians.

Geographic Variations of Colorectal and Breast Cancer Late ‐Stage Diagnosis and the Effects of Neighborhood‐Level Factors
ConclusionsResults suggested that socioeconomic deprivation, rather than spatial accessibility, contributed to CRC late‐stage risks in South Dakota as a rural state. CRC intervention programs could be developed to target isolated small rural areas, socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, as well as American Indians residing in these areas.
