This study investigated services available at health centers at four rural colleges. It also investigated the healthcare accessible to students at those institutions if college health services were unavailable. The authors used a survey and interview procedure to establish the existence of healthcare resources in two adjacent communities and to identify barriers to student use. Findings from the study indicate that, for many students attending rural colleges, the student health center may be the only source of primary healthcare available. The data support the need to include student health centers at rural colleges in the national healthcare reform agenda because closing any one of these schools' health centers could result in a healthcare disaster for some students.
本研究调查了四所乡村学院健康中心提供的服务。它还调查了如果学院健康服务无法提供，这些机构的学生可获得的医疗保健情况。作者采用了调查和访谈程序来确定两个相邻社区医疗保健资源的存在，并识别学生使用这些资源的障碍。研究结果表明，对于许多就读于乡村学院的学生来说，学生健康中心可能是唯一可用的初级医疗保健来源。数据支持将乡村学院的学生健康中心纳入国家医疗改革议程的必要性，因为关闭这些学校中的任何一个健康中心都可能给一些学生带来医疗灾难。
