Description
Uses data from the 2012-2015 National Health Interview Survey to determine whether urban-rural status, poverty,
and other individual- or community-level factors are
associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) prevalence in the United States. Compares COPD
predictors among current or past smokers and individuals
who have never smoked.
