Comey, DanikaMadsen, Matthew2024-10-152024-08https://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/18870This toolkit was devised and published by the Small Urban and Rural Transportation Center on Mobility (SURTCOM) at the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana, with guidance and support provided by the Public Health Institute. SURTCOM is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s University Transportation Centers Program. However, the U.S. Government assumes no liability for use thereof.This toolkit serves as a guiding document for frontier, rural, and micro-urban communities to implement a Health in All Policies (HiAP) framework in rural America. Too often, rural America is overlooked when it comes to public health and policy work. This tool will guide public health practitioners, community planners, elected officials, healthcare providers, and those who are interested in improving community and public health by analyzing and improving local policy in rural communities. Barriers to accessing healthcare services are well documented in rural communities. Rural populations often face greater challenges accessing healthcare services compared to their urban peers such as long distances to primary care, lower insurance coverage rates, higher health needs, and higher rates of poverty [1–4]. Incorporating a HiAP framework in rural areas is an effective way to decrease health inequities and disparities between urban and rural communities.en-USTechnical Reporthttps://doi.org/10.15788/1727735025
