AbstractRural residents in the USA experience significant disparities in mental health outcomes even though the prevalence of mental illness in rural and metropolitan areas is similar. This is a persistent problem that requires innovative approaches to resolve. Adopting and appropriately modifying the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities research framework are the potential approaches to understanding how these disparities might be addressed through research. Using this research framework can facilitate interrogation of multiple levels of influence, encompassing complex domains of influence and consideration of the entire life course trajectory, which is consistent with several National Institute of Mental Health priorities.

Health policy research aligns with the vision, mission, and strategic goals of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). Understanding the effects of a policy change at a local, state or national level that impacts health requires setting up data collection or accessing existing data to evaluate impact at a population health level. The translational work in  the current special supplement issue of Ethnicity & Disease is a powerful and essential approach in optimizing scientific inquiry that supports increasing awareness and selected strategies for cultivating the lives of vulnerable and underserved individuals, families, and communities.
