Sparsely populated rural areas are susceptible to high levels of error in their data, making it difficult to examine patterns and trends across geographies. This article aims to advance research methods for rural researchers by offering guidelines for navigating high levels of error associated with the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS presents a useful source of U.S. community level data for rural researchers to utilize in school–community research but not without its difficulties. The small population sizes of rural communities often translate to large margins of error in the data, presenting a degree of uncertainty in the actual measure. To illustrate challenges and best practice, the author conducts a case study of the relationship between the presence of schools and economic vitality of rural communities in Indiana using ACS data. The author demonstrates how to examine the error in the data, introduces options to reduce uncertainty, and ultimately, explains how to move forward with the data, working with the margin of error and acknowledging its presence in the analysis and results. This article offers suggestions and techniques to assist rural researchers in navigating ACS obstacles so that they might produce transparent results with as little uncertainty as possible.

This study investigated motivations for Appalachian medical students to stay or leave the region weighing postgraduation options. Semi-structured interviews were employed with final year medical students. Transcripts were open-coded and analyzed using the theoretical concept of Gemeinschaft/Gesellschaft. Participants were in continuous negotiation between notions of Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft in their decisions to stay or leave rural Appalachian communities. Students navigated multiple tensions in their decisions to stay or leave, including: (1) geographic isolation versus place identity and (2) community responsibility versus individual opportunity. Utilization of Gemeinschaft/Gesellschaft provides a novel contribution to the literature on decisions to stay or leave as the majority of participants hedged in their decision-making regarding future practice location. These students tended to employ a Gesellschaft rationale to stay and a Gemeinschaft rationale to leave, expressing complicated ideas about community and individual opportunity.
