The purpose of this project is to identify rural/urban differences health insurance, healthcare use, and health outcomes among postpartum individuals and to describe policy-relevant implications or strategies to improve insurance coverage, receipt of recommended healthcare, and, ultimately, health outcomes among rural residents who give birth. With a lens towards health equity, all analyses will be stratified by race/ethnicity and income.
