More than 15% of the US population lives in rural areas, and rural populations experience adverse health disparities due to a variety of contributing factors, such as differential access to healthcare and geographic barriers to receiving care. In order to provide context for rural areas, epidemiologists and network scientists will discuss the demographic, socioeconomic, and geographic factors that characterize rural populations, what has been observed for other infectious disease transmission in rural areas, and epidemiological modeling of COVID-19 transmission and applications for rural Virginia.
