America, and adequate provision of
health care services is critical for
achieving economic development and
improved well-being of rural people. In
many rural communities, the health care
services sector is the largest employer,
and rapid growth in this sector is
occurring and likely will continue,
especially as the Baby-Boom generation
retires. Provision of adequate health
care services may be a key factor
attracting retirees and other migrants to
rural areas, contributing to rural growth
and prosperity. Despite recent growth
and potential for continued growth in
this sector, many rural communities
suffer from poor access to health care
services, especially because of the
limited supply of health care
professionals. The authority to collect
this information is under 7 U.S.C.
2204(a), 7 U.S.C. 2204(b) and 7 U.S.C.
2661.
Need and use of the Information: The
Economic Research Service will collect
information using a survey to address
gaps in existing knowledge about the
relationships between community
development and rural health care
provisions by investigating these issues
from the perspective of members of
rural communities, including health
care providers and community leaders.
The study will be based on a sample of
150 communities in three major regions
of the country. The study will also
collect information on how rural small
towns attract and retain primary health
care providers, considering the broad
range of community assets and
amenities that may attract providers. If
the proposed information collection is
not conducted, research and knowledge
on the roles rural communities play in
recruiting and retaining health care
providers will remain limited.
Description of Respondents: Business
or others for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Number of Respondents: 2,850.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting:

Total Burden Hours: 2,198.
