I have found this book concise and easy to read. As an adolescent health researcher, I particularly liked the chapter entitled "Promoting Adolescent Health in Rural Communities" and its focus on tobacco use, in particular, is insightful. I believe this book is a staple for anyone interested in improving health in rural America.
