- Notes:
- AGE 85925422, Data from 358 households in 12 sites representative of climatic, geographical, and agricultural variations in the eastern communal areas of Botswana show that differences in the agricultural practices and extension contact of male- and female-headed households largely disappear when economic stratum is controlled. Female-headed households are shown not to be a homogeneous group. There appear to be greater similarities between farmers within the same economic stratum regardless of gender than between farmers of the same gender in different strata.

- 49 (1) : 127-142.
- Notes:
- AGE 84925163, The study evaluates 145 health care programs that were implemented in the 1970s to serve nonmetropolitan populations in the United States. The evaluation employs multiple indicator unobserved variable models to disaggregate the effects of the socio-environmental milieu; i.e., education, income, racial composition, poverty, housing conditions, crowding, occupation structure, and rural health care programs on physician availability and two health status indicators--neonatal mortality and post-neonatal mortality. The results show that rural health care programs did not increase the availability of physicians in the targeted areas. However, implementation of the programs contributed significantly to lowering the neonatal mortality rate.

- Notes:
- AGE 84925159, Previous research leaves many questions to be answered about the effects of rurality on rates of serious social disruptions. The premise of this study is that rurality affects opportunities for disruption in social interaction. Further, it is argued that structural cleavages provoke disruptions where opportunities are conducive. The combinations of rurality with particular structural cleavages, therefore, predict specific patterns of disruption. Findings of a canonical analysis, with data for counties of the northeastern United States, show that rurality, in combination with other population characteristics, affects the rates of nonlethal violence, homicide, suicide, and divorce. The most generalized pattern includes a low rate of nonlethal violence and high rates of homicide, suicide, and divorce. An understanding of patterns of disruption in modern society can be enhanced by focusing on the effects of rurality.
