Management of fall risk among older adults in diverse primary care settings.
The purpose of this study was to describe how urban and rural primary care staff and older adults manage fall risk and factors relevant to the application of computerized clinical decision support (CCDS). METHODS: Interviews, contextual inquiries, and workflow observations were analyzed. The study found that participants valued fall prevention and described similar approaches. Variations in available resources existed between rural and urban locations. Participants wanted evidence-based guidance incorporated into workflows to bridge gaps in skills.

Urban and rural differences in trajectories of depressive symptoms in later life in the United States.
This research had two primary goals: to examine the relationship between urban residence and trajectories of depressive symptoms and to investigate whether this relationship differs by social isolation and loneliness. The investigators conducted latent growth curve analysis to predict both baseline and trajectories of depression based on urban or rural residency. Findings of this study served to better understand how social and geographic contexts shaped long-term well-being of older adults.
