Rural Women's Health encompasses the breadth and depth of the unique physical and psychological needs facing rural women throughout the United States and Canada, and identifies positive interventions and outcomes. Raymond T.

Key issues covered include: socio-cultural stressors; policy changes; barriers to accessing mental health treatment; obesity and risk factors; behavioral risk factors; chronic diseases; exercise, nutrition, and health promotion programs; and education and telehealth. This is a valuable resource for mental health service providers, gerontologists, social workers, psychologists, counselors and primary care physicians.
