Dr. Rennekamp recently alerted you all to a commentary he and I co-authored in the American Journal of Public Health. I wanted to also promote the broader collection with which that publication was associated. There are 16 articles on rural health! You may find them HERE.

Many are open access, including these:

A Public Health Lens on Rural Health

COVID-19 Reveals Emerging Opportunities for Rural Public Health

The Intergenerational Cycles of Rural Health

The State of Rural Public Health: Enduring Needs in a New Decade

Funding and Service Delivery in Rural and Urban Local US Health Departments in 2010 and 2016

Buyback Program of Unused Prescription Opioids in US Rural Communities, 2017–2018

Toward Optimal and Equitable Rural Health

To recap all this body of work, there's a great podcast available HERE.

Speaking of publications, I'm interested to know where our Extension health colleagues are publishing. A few outlets to get us started-
