The Handbook of Rural Health is the first comprehensive multidisciplinary text on this important topic. Experts from the fields of medicine, public health, nursing, dentistry, epidemiology, anthropology, social work, and psychology examine issues relevant to rural populations. This in-depth coverage includes discussions of rural health and policy; methodological issues in conducting research; equity in access to care; and current infrastructures for the delivery of needed care. In addition, the health needs of specific rural populations are considered, including women, children, adolescents, Native Americans, and migrant workers. This much needed resource will be of value to physicians, nurses, epidemiologists, health service researchers, health educators, and others who work with rural populations.

Horrid,

This review is from: Handbook of Rural Health (Hardcover)
Pray that you do not have a class that requires this book. Most of the articles in this compilation are poor examples of what a health care professional should know. Since this is a compilation of articles, half the terms used have no straight forward definitions, and of course there is no glossary. You will find yourself constantly referencing previous works by the various authors to try to make sense of anything. Beware!!

This review is from: Handbook of Rural Health (Paperback)
This is an excellent textbook. Well written and organized. This text forces the student understand the health care issues that face rural populations. This book introduces students to new terminology. The taxonomies of rural and urban health care.
