2022, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :It should be noted that most previous studies on related topics use a binary or categorical rural-urban distinction, while my hypotheses are constructed in terms of the degree of rurality but are based on the same inherent logic. According to Verheij (1996), rural-urban health disparities can be explained from compositional and contextual factors, which may also be possible factors that lead rural populations to have relatively higher opioid prescribing rates. The age, racial, and occupational composition of the population could account for higher prescribing rates in rural areas.

2019, Health and PlaceCitation Excerpt :However, because we did not have complete data available for the period of the study, we could not properly test these mechanisms. Regardless, the spatial variation in environmental stressors, such as pollution, could explain the spatial concentration of depression and anxiety (‘breeder hypothesis’) (Verheij, 1996), which should be investigated in further empirical research. The mechanisms underlying the link between context and health operate at the neighbourhood level and individual level.
