Editorial Reviews
Review
“Rural Populations and Health fulfills its purpose in providing readers with an orientation to rural community health and the social determinants that influence it. It would be useful for anthropology, sociology, psychology, nursing, health sciences, political science, and certainly public health majors.”
―The Journal of Rural Health, Autumn 2013
