Rural cancer deaths higher despite national declines
A CDC report shows rural America has higher cancer death rates and more new cases in several cancers linked to tobacco and screening gaps. Access to care and insurance gaps may drive mortality differences, with uninsured rural residents limiting preventive services. The analysis spans 2009 to 2013 incidence and 2006 to 2015 deaths.

Opioid prescriptions show first national decline since crisis began
The CDC reports a 13.1 percent drop in opioid prescriptions per 100 people from 2012 to 2015, with 70.6 per 100. Anne Schuchat cautions the rate remains high versus 1999 and many European countries, noting total orders still fuel three weeks of medicating every American. The study highlights wide county disparities and links higher prescribing to arthritis, diabetes, unemployment, and white rural populations.
