The 2021 NIH Rural Health Seminar will be held virtually on Thursday, Nov. 18 from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET. This year’s theme is “Structural-Level Determinants of Rural Health Disparities.” Seminar sessions will explore important issues related to rural health by focusing on the following areas:

  • Sociocultural and economic determinants of health in rural populations
  • Physical environmental determinants of health in rural populations
  • Evaluation, measurements and policy implications on rural health

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how structural determinants affect rural populations and the need for multilevel interventions that can reduce rural health disparities.
