Medical pluralism arises as a deliberate approach to resolving the tension between urban and rural health and is manifested in the practice of integrative medicine. There are currently ongoing efforts to implement this system regionally, more particularly in the nation of Ecuador. It accomplishes the mission of raising awareness for more adequate healthcare systems by immersing participants (including health care practitioners and student volunteers) in programs, both in-person and virtually, that are rooted in community involvement and provide glimpses into the healthcare systems present in vastly distinct areas of the nation. Research examines the role of NGOs in facilitating spaces or "arenas" for spotlighting the importance of traditional medicine and medical pluralism; such "arenas" facilitate a necessary medical dialogue about healthcare and provides a space to hear the voices of marginalized communities.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> CFHI's efforts are supporting Ecuador's implementation of an integrated system that includes <a href="/wiki/Alternative_medicine" title="Alternative medicine">alternative medicine</a>.<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> The process of doing so is, however, challenged by four main obstacles.

In Peru, the presence of certain key organizations such as USAID, PIH, and UNICEF as well as more local NGOs have greatly spearheaded the efforts of establishing a system suitable for the diverse populations of the country.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> As governments continue to function under the assumption that communities have access to the same resources and live under the same conditions and sets of exposures, their support of Westernized modes of healthcare are inadequate at meeting the varying needs communities and individuals. These systems overgeneralize the needs of the populations and perpetuate harmful cycles by believing that medical practices and procedures can apply to anyone regardless of their environment, socioeconomic status, and color of their skin, when reality proves otherwise. Such systemic failures contribute to a reliance on external NGOs to promote a more equitable healthcare system.

In a paper published in Rural Sociology from 1942, Dorn shares his concerns about U.S. disparities of infant and maternal mortality rates and what he refers to as "sickness (morbidity) rates," juxtaposed with the relatively lower number of physicians and hospitals in the rural areas.<a href="#cite_note-99">[99]</a> He surmises that the "typical" public health activities have exclusively focused on sanitation and controlling communicable disease leaves little to no money for direct medical care. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Rural_Residence_as_a_Social_Determinant_of_Health">Rural Residence as a Social Determinant of Health</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Rural_health&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Rural Residence as a Social Determinant of Health">edit</a>]</div> More recently, public health has also identified spatial disparities as a key component of inequity. Lutfiyya et al. contend that rurality is a root or fundamental social determinant of health.<a href="#cite_note-:5-100">[100]</a> Social determinants of health such as poverty, unequal access to healthcare, education deficits, stigma, and racism are all contributing factors to health inequalities, according to the CDC.<a href="#cite_note-101">[101]</a> Research on "place-based" determinants have historically pointed towards urbanization (e.g., redlining, gentrification) but health disparities also persist in rural areas as well. For example, 20% of the population in the United States is considered rural, but only 9% of physicians serve rural communities, which points to unequal access to healthcare.<a href="#cite_note-102">[102]</a> Cosby et al. refers to the differences in mortality and morbidity between urban and rural residents as the "rural mortality penalty."<a href="#cite_note-103">[103]</a> Lutfiyya et al. discuss the introduction to the theory of fundamental causes of health and mortality by Link and Phelan and its important omission of rurality and space.<a href="#cite_note-:5-100">[100]</a><a href="#cite_note-104">[104]</a> While socioeconomic status is fundamentally understood to be a persistent driver of health inequity, this concept was not expanded to include root causes spurring the socioeconomic disparities. Using the four features which characterize a fundamental social cause of health, Lutfiyya et al. demonstrate that rural residency is a root cause of health inequities.<a href="#cite_note-:5-100">[100]</a> The aforementioned four characteristics are: "(1) it influences multiple disease or health outcomes; (2) it affects these outcomes through multiple risk factors; (3) it impacts access to resources that may be used to either avoid risks or minimize the consequence of disease; and (4) the association between the fundamental cause and health is reproduced over time through the replacement of intervening mechanisms."<a href="#cite_note-105">[105]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Nuances_of_US_Rural_Populations">Nuances of US Rural Populations</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Rural_health&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Nuances of US Rural Populations">edit</a>]</div> About 14% of the US population lives in a designated rural area, which is about 46.1 million people.<a href="#cite_note-:6-106">[106]</a> Despite assumptions about the homogeneity of rural populations in the U.S., the rural population at large varies greatly amongst itself and between the urban and suburban populations. For the first time in U.S. census history, individuals 65 and older made up more than 20% of the rural population in 2021.<a href="#cite_note-:6-106">[106]</a> For metropolitan areas in 2021, people 65 and older only made up 16% of the population. Throughout the decade of 2010-20, 65 years and older population in rural areas grew by 22%.<a href="#cite_note-:6-106">[106]</a> While the rural workforce has become more racially and ethnically diverse than previous years, it is still less diverse than urban populations.<a href="#cite_note-:6-106">[106]</a> Towne et al. found racial differences in health outcomes.<a href="#cite_note-107">[107]</a> For example, white and Black rural residents were less likely to report being in good or excellent health when compared to their urban colleagues. Rural Black residents were less likely to have cholesterol and cervical cancer screenings when compared to their urban counterparts. Another study found that white and Black rural residents were more vulnerable to higher mortality rates.<a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a> Another study found that "place" (rurality) influenced greater mortality across all racial and ethnic groups.<a href="#cite_note-:7-109">[109]</a> When compared to urban subpopulations, rural white residents had a 13% increased chance of mortality, rural Black residents had an 8% increased chance of mortality, and rural American Indian/Alaskan Natives had an 162% increased chance of mortality.<a href="#cite_note-:7-109">[109]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Disease_Prevalence_in_US_Rural_Areas">Disease Prevalence in US Rural Areas</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Rural_health&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Disease Prevalence in US Rural Areas">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Coronary_Heart_Disease">Coronary Heart Disease</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Rural_health&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Coronary Heart Disease">edit</a>]</div> Taylor writes about some of the disparities in disease prevalence comparing rural and urban residents.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a> She identifies several areas of particular note, including heart disease, unintentional injuries, and cancer. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in the United States.<a href="#cite_note-:9-111">[111]</a> CHD mortality is more prevalent among rural men and women compared to their urban counterparts. For rural residents, the unexpected excess deaths from CHS was almost 43% for individuals younger than 80 years old, compared to 27.8% for urban residents between 1999 and 2014.<a href="#cite_note-:9-111">[111]</a> Taylor notes that while mortality caused by CHD have declined overall, the decrease was tied to urbanization levels.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a> Past research has found that there are greater distances to healthcare centers, healthcare provider shortages, and greater lack of adherence to healthy behaviors, as well as lower self-efficacy for self-management among heart failure patients.<a href="#cite_note-112">[112]</a><a href="#cite_note-113">[113]</a> While physical activity improves cardiac health, physical inactivity and obesity are greater in rural areas.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a> Depression is also a critical risk factor for heart disease and is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality risk for CHD among rural populations.<a href="#cite_note-114">[114]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Unintentional_Injuries">Unintentional Injuries</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Rural_health&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Unintentional Injuries">edit</a>]</div> Taylor also discusses unintentional injuries as a broad category that is more prevalent among rural populations than urban ones.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a> In particular, injuries tied to poisonings, transportation, and falls were the top three causes for unintentional injuries causing death among rural groups.<a href="#cite_note-115">[115]</a> Taylor reports that mortality rates for unintentional injuries between 1999 and 2014 surpassed urban counties by 50%.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a> In particular, opioid misuse and deaths accounted for a large portion of these differences. Further, the age-adjusted rate of drug overdose deaths increased by 31% from 2019 to 2020.<a href="#cite_note-116">[116]</a> Related to healthcare disparities, rural patients face inadequate access to drug treatment facilities and often emergency medical ambulatory services did not have the appropriate medical supplies to treat individuals who overdosed at the site of an emergency.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a> Additionally, ambulatory services will often have to travel farther to attend to or transport patients compared to their urban counterparts, which could have grave impacts on a patient's status if time to treatment is influential on their odds of recovery.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a>   According to the CDC, deaths related to motor vehicle crashes are 3-10 times higher in rural areas than urban ones, depending on their region. Specifically, fatalities from crashes was relatively higher in rural areas than urban ones in 2015 (48% vs. 45%).<a href="#cite_note-117">[117]</a> Relatedly, seatbelt use is lower for rural divers, with 61% of drivers and passengers involved in fatal crashes in rural counties did not have their seat belts on at the time of the crash.

Cancer mortality rates have been declining, however, this decline has been much slower for rural residents. Taylor notes that risk factors related to cancers of the lung, colon, rectum, prostate, cervix, oral cavity, and pharynx can be modified.<a href="#cite_note-:8-110">[110]</a> For example, rural residents are more likely to be obese, smoke, be exposed to secondhand smoke, lack of physical activity, and be exposed to UV rays.
