Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine intervention characteristics and outcomes of mental and behavioral health interventions implemented in rural settings as well as the research methodologies used to examine them. A meta-analysis of articles published from 2000-2019 in several databases was conducted. Twenty-four articles that met inclusion criteria were coded. Results revealed intervention characteristics, effectiveness of interventions and malleable factors utilized in the studies. Future directions and implications are discussed.
