Rural U.S. counties have 11.8% higher colorectal cancer death rates than urban areas, driven largely by poverty, transportation barriers, and low education.
A new study finds rural U.S. counties have 11.8% higher colorectal cancer death rates than urban areas, with social factors like poverty, unemployment, low education, household crowding, and lack of vehicle access driving much of the disparity.
These factors accounted for 18.6% and 8.8% of the gap, respectively, with transportation barriers having a greater impact in rural regions.
Researchers stress that addressing inequities requires targeted, local solutions based on specific community challenges rather than broad measures alone.
