Health Care Access for Infants and Toddlers in Rural Areas
Link
Description
Research brief describing how rural children are more
likely to face a unique combination of challenges that
negatively impact their health and development, such as
fewer healthcare providers, barriers to accessing care, and
higher rates of poverty. Includes rural/urban comparisons
for each state, with information on the percentage of
infants and toddlers lacking health insurance, receiving
recommended vaccinations, attending a preventive medical
appointment, and more.
