As the nation's principal health statistics agency, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) regularly provides data and analysis of health outcomes that differentially affect Americans. A major focus area for the agency has been understanding and describing health outcomes across the rural-urban continuum.
This presentation will highlight recent and ongoing work by NCHS in describing rural-urban differences in all-cause mortality, suicide, alcohol-related deaths, motor vehicle traffic deaths, and drug overdose deaths. Additionally, this webinar will feature insights from a program working to reduce mortality related to substance use in rural Pennsylvania.
