Nonmetropolitan areas have the highest percentage of people with disabilities, including severe disabilities. However, rural people with disabilities may represent a population that is underserved or difficult to reach. Barriers to information dissemination in rural areas include limited transportation and communications infrastructures, greater numbers of older and less educated individuals, economic hardship, and lack of other services. Consequently, rural residents' awareness of disability research and its potential positive impact on the lives of rural people with disabilities is limited. This publication describes strategies to increase rural access to disability research information. Brief articles are "Shepherd Center's Web-Based Learning Connections" (Roxanne Pickett Hauber); "Access to Disability Research Information by Rural Consumers: Key Findings from the NCDDR 2001 Survey"; "Outreach Strategies of the RTC on Rural Rehabilitation Services" (Tom Seekins); "Strategies for Building Communication and Participation: Experiences from the Lower Mississippi Delta States" (Ari Mwachofi); and "Home-Based Video-Counseling for Rural At-Risk Adolescents with Epilepsy and Their Parents" (Robert L. Glueckauf). Summing up the strategies in these articles, 12 recommendations are presented concerning appropriate targeting and tailoring of information, using multiple formats and media, spreading information through local organizations and social networks, being aware of cultural diversity and age-related issues, minimizing transportation needs, involving rural residents with disabilities in participatory research, and asking for feedback. Related resources on rural issues are listed. (SV)
