Some grim examples: according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, rural Americans are more likely to die from cancer\, heart disease\, unintentional injury\, and stroke than those living in urban areas. What role can research play in addressing these disparities? What has research already revealed about the known causes of rural health disparities\, and what innovative strategies are being deployed to address those causes?   \nLeading rural health experts from the University of Illinois Rockford\, Dr. Brianna Sheppard and Dr. Heidi Olson\, joined us to discuss.  \nView the slides and watch the recording.  URL:https://www.researchamerica.org/event/researchamerica-alliance-discussion-with-dr-bri-sheppard-and-dr-heidi-olson-university-of-illinois-college-of-medicine-rockford/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.researchamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dr.-Olson-Dr.-Sheppard.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230919 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230921 DTSTAMP:20230915T154935Z CREATED:20230915T154653Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230915T154935Z UID:10000151-1695081600-1695254399@www.researchamerica.org SUMMARY:National Health Research Forum DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Forum will include both virtual and live\, in-person components over the course of two days on September 19 and 20.
