Issues in the Rural West (Rural West 2016)
Discussions about issues and policy in the rural west are seldom informed by an understanding of the public's views on the issues. This panel presented the results of a unique statewide survey of Montana residents' opinions conducted by Stanford University and the University of Montana. The survey asked questions on the panel topics of the 2016 Rural West conference, including the distinct perspectives of rural residents on issues of health care, energy production, resource management, drug use, and tribal government.
