 | | Rural populations suffer more injuries from lightning, farm machinery, firearms, drowning, and accidents involving vehicles such as boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and all-terrain vehicles, although separate rural morbidity and mortality data are often unavailable for such accidents (Gamm, et al., 2003a; b; c: OSHA, 2003; USDA, 2003c). |
 | | Rural residents in general are characterized by a relatively low mortality rate, but a high rate of chronic illness (Gamm, et al., 2003a-b). |
 | | Rural areas are especially disadvantaged in meeting the needs of children with serious mental health problems because of the relative lack of psychiatrists, especially child psychiatrists in rural areas. |
