Rural-Urban Differences in the Public Health Workforce: Findings from Local Health Departments in Three Rural Western States (Alaska, Montana and Wyoming)
Description:
Rural local health districts are often the only formal public health presence in small remote communities. This study described the people who staff these departments in three western states, compared the per capita supply of public health professionals in rural and urban districts, and explored some of the major challenges faced by rural public health. This series of studies (1999 to 2001) was funded by HRSA, National Center for Health Workforce Analysis.
