Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary Based upon the Vulnerable Populations Conceptual Model, our study sought to understand the relationship between Tennessee's disparate rural mortality rates and the distance and travel times to hospital and emergency care (access to care), plus other environmental and human capital resources (2010 – 2019).
