使用国家数据集，社区和个人提供者的特点对农村地区的医疗资源的可用性的影响进行了评估。在提供服务者方面，包括社区保健中心和社区精神保健中心等组织类型的提供者方面，仍然存在差异。非大都市县拥有此类中心的比例较低，而非大都市县一般分组中的农村县拥有的此类组织资源较少。弗吉尼亚州西南部地区的案例研究，强调对健康结果的影响和创新的社区应对缺乏所需的医疗服务。
Using a national dataset, the influence of the community and individual provider characteristics on the availability of healthcare resources in rural areas was evaluated. Disparities continue to exist in the availability of providers including organizational types of providers such as Community Health Centers and Community Mental Health Centers. A lower percentage of nonmetropolitan counties have such centers, and more rural counties within the general grouping of nonmetropolitan counties have fewer of these organizational resources. A case study on the Southwestern region of Virginia is presented to highlight the impact on health outcomes and an innovative community response to the lack of availability of needed healthcare services.
