Center for Research on Chronic Health Conditions in Rural Dwellers, Montana State University-Bozeman, College of Nursing, MT 59717, USA.

Published: August 2005

Conducting nursing research with rural populations is influenced by the multidimensional characteristics of rural dwellers, the rural environment, the paucity of nurse scientists prepared and supported to conduct rural research, and institutional constraints common to academic institutions serving rural communities.
