What proportion of rural areas are Health Professional Shortage Areas?
Principal Investigator: Erin Fraher, PhD, MPP
Some estimates suggest that 66.5% of primary care HPSAs are in rural areas; however, it is unclear what proportion of all rural areas are primary care Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). This project will assess the proportion of rural areas, using different measures of rurality, that are designated as HPSAs and characterize the population living in rural areas that are not designated HPSAs.
