Ongoing peer review work with the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved (JHCPU) involves evaluating manuscripts that examine healthcare access and the factors that influence outcomes for underserved populations.
Following the completion of a prior review focused on the relationship between public transportation and access to Medicare and Medicaid services, an additional manuscript was assigned for evaluation in October 2026. The current review explores barriers that can affect healthcare access within rural-serving communities and considers the circumstances that may influence whether individuals seek and receive care.
This work contributes to the development of research that examines how people experience healthcare systems and the challenges that can affect access across different populations.
