Rural Health
The Rural Health issue in the Atlas of Canada has been created at a time when interest in rural health is very high. Unfortunately, it is also a time when both governments at all levels and rural researchers have relatively few resources to adequately describe or analyze rural health. This is partly due to a lack of data and also due to a poorly developed rural health research infrastructure (for example, minimal funding, few research institutes and/or investigators with a focus on rural health).
