Understanding the Community Context and Identifying Health Equity Priorities

Each rural community has unique challenges and strengths that influence the community's ability to effect change. Rural communities seeking to advance health equity can use data to identify which communities are experiencing inequities. They can validate findings with community members and conduct additional research to better understand community needs and priorities.

• Using Data to Identify Priorities and Health Inequities
