Rural Healthy People 2020
Rural Healthy People 2020 will serve the unique needs of rural community leaders and providers over the next decade as an important companion document and resource to Healthy People 2020. The focus of RHP 2020 is on rural-specific priorities and community needs, with the goal of providing support, critical tools and technical support to rural leaders and researchers for assessing and responding to the needs of rural communities.
Help us identify Rural Healthy People 2020 priorities for targeting rural funding, and identify promising models for practice. RHP 2020 will monitor and measure their success in improving outcomes. By focusing our efforts we can begin to demonstrate improvements in Rural Healthy People objectives over the course of a decade.
Please consider the list of focus areas below according to the following procedure:
1. Read over the entire list. If there are any additional rural health issues that you would include among your top priorities, please add them at the bottom of Question 1.
2. Please place a check mark or an "x" to the left of each focus area that you think should be in the "top ten" rural priorities. Among these ten, if you want to target a more specific objective, e.g., a particular type of cancer or a particular access issue, please indicate it in Question 2.
3. Please select what you believe is the single highest-ranking rural health priority in Question 3.
