The cost and difficulty associated with travel for medical or dental care may serve as a barrier for rural populations. However, nationally representative estimates of the actual travel burden of rural residents, measures of both distance traveled and time spent on the trip have not been previously available. This study takes advantage of a highly detailed national representative survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
