Rural Well-Being in North Dakota
The Research Group on Rural Well-being is an interdisciplinary group of NDSU faculty united with a common goal. Specifically, we utilize the expertise we derive from our distinct areas of specialization to understand issues germane to rural families and communities. Our work covers the entire range of the lifespan, from childhood through late adulthood.
