View Resource

Examines the household production of health approach (HHPH) to understand how rural populations allocate resources when seeking medical treatment. Discusses how this approach can yield new understandings of rural cancer research in the U.S. that considers people's familial and cultural realities. Focuses on gendered responsibilities in the household, particularly for women, as they relate to healthcare access.
