This project proposes to study determinants of mid-life health in the areas most beset by such place-based health inequalities: rural communities in the South and Appalachia.

The Survey Research Operations (SRO) will provide sample design services, manage the sample purchase, and provide consultation on sample monitoring and interviewer training. The SRO Director of Sampling Operations will design and oversee implementation of the sampling plan and the purchase of an Address Based Sample (ABS), composed of addresses selected from the USPS sequence delivery file.
