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.

AGRICOLA IND 90041862, The health status of Indian teenagers in the United States is below that of the general population. The usual barriers to the use of health care services that young people, including young Indians, encounter are compounded in rural areas by distance, isolation, and lack of appropriate services. To overcome these barriers in rural New Mexico, a public health demonstration project (a) integrated health care services free of charge; (b) set up the initial program of services at a rural school; (c) established links with existing agencies; and (d) incorporated community action toward creating change. The project began as a joint effort of three communities, the University of New Mexico (UNM), and the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service (IHS) of the Public Health Service; a secondary level public school soon became a participant. The project is being replicated in two other communities that have formed separate partnerships with UNM and the area IHS; also the New Mexico Health and Environment Department has joined the effort in one community. Preliminary data suggest that the services are being used by a majority of the target population, with the proportions of boys and girls about equal.

Kerry J. Byrnes Collection, United States Agency for International Development. A.I.D. evaluation special study, no. 67. 43 pages., A.I.D.'s experience with farming systems research and extension (FSR/E) has been mixed. FSR/E projects have provided opportunities for developing country professionals to acquire training and field experience in this new approach to research. However, most projects have bot had the impact on technology development and transfer or institutionalization of FSR/E as had been assumed in project designs. This report, based on a case study review of evaluations of 12 A.I.D.-funded projects, synthesizes the Agency's experience with FSR/E from the mid-1970's to the mid-1980's and assesses the impact of these projects on agricultural development.
AGRICOLA IND 92018787, With the increase in wellness programs, earlier hospital discharges, higher health care costs, and more home health care, rural nurses are required to generalize their practices and draw from a more extensive knowledge base. The purpose of this study was to examine nursing interventions, specifically nutrition education practices, based on nutrition knowledge that is used in health promotion. A stratified random sample of rural nurses from hospitals, nursing homes, and community health agencies in North Dakota was invited to participate in this study. Data were obtained via questionnaires. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: the first analyzing demographic data and the second analyzing nutrition knowledge. Nutrition information requests were received by 90.9 percent of the practicing registered nurses. The community/public health nurses had the highest nutrition knowledge scores while medical-surgical hospital nurses had the lowest nutrition knowledge scores. With nutrition information and education being a frequently sought intervention by the rural health client, it would seem that registered nurses should be highly prepared and knowledgeable to meet these clients' needs.
