A) Limited access to care
B) Lack of available resources
C) Geographic similarities
D) Diverse cultural groups
E) Consistency in treatment approaches
Ans: A, B, D
All age groups in rural areas have limited access to health care. The lack of resources is particularly problematic since most mental health services are located in urban areas
because more people live near cities. Rural areas are also diverse in both geography and culture. For example, access to mental health for those in the deep South is different from access for those with the same problems in the Northwest. Treatment approaches may be accepted in one part of the country but not in another.
