Book excerpt: Health research in Canada has mostly focused on urban areas, often overlooking the unique issues faced by Canadians living in rural and remote areas. This volume provides the first comprehensive overview of the state of rural health and health care in Canada, from coast to coast and in northern communities. Three themes are highlighted: rural places matter to health, rural places are unique, and rural places are dynamic. The contributors bring insights and methodologies from nursing, social work, geography, epidemiology, and sociology and from community-based research to a full spectrum of topics: health literacy, rural health care delivery and training, Aboriginal health, web-based services and their application, rural palliative care, and rural health research and policy. Taken together, these wide-ranging and multifaceted explorations of the dynamic relationship between health and place offer researchers and policy-makers, students and practitioners a valuable resource for understanding the special, ever-changing needs of rural communities.

It explores many of the disadvantages and disparities facing rural communities of Canada. It is not our intent to diminish the advantages and attractions that many rural areas offer to their residents or visitors; rather, the aim is to create a wider understanding of rural health needs and to inform and support programs and policies that will attend to these needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounting for almost two-thirds of the country’s land mass, northern Canada is a vast region, host to rich natural resources and a diverse cultural heritage shared across Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents. In this book, the authors analyse health and health care in northern Canada from a perspective that acknowledges the unique strengths, resilience, and innovation of northerners, while also addressing the challenges aggravated by contemporary manifestations of colonialism. Old and new forms of colonial programs and policies continue to create health and health care disparities in the North. Written by individuals who live in and study the region, Health and Health Care in Northern Canada utilizes case studies, interviews, photographs, and more, to highlight the lived experiences of northerners and the primary health issues that they face. In order to maintain resilience, improve the positive outcomes of health determinants, and diminish negative stereotypes, we must ensure that northerners – and their cultures, values, strengths, and leadership – are at the centre of the ongoing work to achieve social justice and health equity.

Download or read book Rural Women s Health written by Beverly Leipert and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The well-being of rural communities affects the well-being of those who reside in towns and cities because of rural-urban connections through food, drinking water, infectious disease, extreme environmental events, recreation, and for many, retirement residence. In rural areas themselves, women play a critical role in the health of their families and communities, yet women’s health is often marginalized or ignored. There have been limited studies to date about rural women and health in Canada. Filling an important gap in scholarship, this collection identifies priority issues that must be addressed to ensure these women’s well-being and offers innovative theoretical and methodological ideas for improvement. Rural Women’s Health integrates perspectives from rural practitioners, residents, and scholars in a variety of fields, including nursing, sociology, anthropology, and geography, to tackle issues relevant to diverse settings across the country. As such, it presents a national perspective on the nature of women’s health while respecting internal and regional diversity, as well as viewpoints from international scholarship.

Book excerpt: THE HEALTH SERVICES USE AMONG OLDER CANADIANS IN RURAL AND URBAN AREAS # Heather Conde and James Ted McDonald Department of Economics, University of New Brunswick, Canada Abstract Even though universal health care is one of the fundamental pillars of Canadian society, the rising cost of all services has resulted in the relocation and redistribution of funding and services between rural and urban a [...] Similar conclusions were drawn in the Kirby Report that noted access issues were the most serious problems for residents of rural and remote areas, and also that the health of rural residents was worse than their urban counterparts.1 Even though universal health care is one of the fundamental pillars of Canadian society, the rising cost of all services has resulted in the relocation and redistribu [...] A number of authors have studied access and use of health 2 The effect of rationalization of service provision in rural areas depends on community and government responses to the changes and does not necessarily worsen the health status of residents of the affected community. [...] Second, are any of the differences in health services use identified in the first part of the analysis due to differences in the socio-economic and demographic characteristics and/or the health status of each region's residents?5 We focus on older Canadians as on average they are in greater need of health services than younger people, and so any barriers to the use of necessary health services tha [...] As well, we experiment with the inclusion of controls at the level of the health region: a full set of indicator variables for health region of residence (which can be identified owing to the fact that many health regions span both rural and urban areas) and alternatively variables measuring the number of general practitioners and the number of specialists per 1000 population in each health region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to universal health care coverage, it is hypothesized that Canada will have less of a rural/urban disparity in health outcomes compared to the United States. It is also hypothesized that Canada's decentralized, executive federalism offers more opportunity for public action to address rural health if the political will is present. The evidence reveals that the rural/urban disparity on many health outcomes is just as significant in Canada as in the United States. Regarding public action, Canada has not had a significant federal presence in rural health issues due to the lack of executive will at the federal level. The United States has more public action at the federal level but the policy is fragmented. Subnational governments play an important role in shaping rural health, but more so in the Canadian provinces. It is concluded that the similarities in rural health outcomes and public reaction between the two countries is largely a function of the rural social and economic environment in which the respective federal systems operate.
