Defining Primary Care Shortage Areas: Do GIS ‐based Measures Yield Different Results?
ConclusionsThe GIS‐based PPRs we employed would yield shortage area determinations that are similar to those based on bounded‐area PPRs defined for Primary Care Service Areas. Disagreement rates were lower than previous studies have found. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)

Community ‐Level Exposure to the Rural Mining Industry: The Potential Influence on Early Adolescent Alcohol and Tobacco Use
ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate rural‐urban disparities in adolescent substance use that are particularly pronounced among youth living in counties with economic dependence on mining. Future research on this subject should include a wider range of community‐level factors that may have specific relevance in rural settings to inform the development of population‐level interventions.

National Public Health Data Systems in the United States: Applications to Child Agricultural Injury Surveillance
ConclusionsAlthough these public health data systems captured many details regarding medical aspects of the injury, they included little information on circumstances leading to injury, thus limiting their utility for child agricultural injury surveillance and primary prevention initiatives. We recommend any child agricultural injury data collection tool formally incorporate a structured narrative so underlying circumstances leading to injury events are documented.

Evaluating Factors Impacting Medication Adherence Among Rural, Urban, and Suburban Populations
ConclusionThese analyses suggest that there is no significant difference in adherence between rural and urban populations; however, the factors contributing to medication adherence may vary based on age and population density. Future adherence intervention methods should be designed with consideration for these individualized factors. (Source: The Journal of Rural Health)
