We utilized a ‘text word’ (tw) search for ‘rural’ which tells PubMed to look for ‘rural’ in titles, abstracts, and MESH headings. However, if a rural-specific study excluded the term ‘rural’ in the abstract or title, it may not have been identified in PubMed search results. Therefore, in our CINAHL database search we included multiple rurality phrases and we checked references in each selected article for additional papers.
