Texas Rural Health Survey

This project aims to understand how individuals in rural Texas manage health issues, particularly in Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) and counties without hospitals. 

This research examines factors affected by the rurality of residents,  including access to language/education, medical care, food/housing insecurity, and other social determinants of health that influence whether individuals seek or avoid health services, such as screenings, emergency care, and specialty care. Examining these factors may offer insights into how to better support individual behaviors and improve available health services.
