Contemporary ruralurban divisions in America stem from longterm demographic, economic, technological, and social factors. To examine these trends, AEI’s Brent Orrell and Tony Pipa of the Brookings Institution host an ongoing series of “On the Front Porch” conversations with authors of recent research on issues facing rural America.

On July 8, Mr. Orrell and Mr. Pipa will host AEI Senior Fellow Sally Satel and Stanford University Professor Keith Humphreys, experts on opioid use disorder and its impact on rural communities. Dr. Satel and Dr. Humphreys each have decades of experience researching mental health, behavior, and health and addiction policy. At this event, they will discuss the causes of and potential solutions to the nation’s drug epidemic, especially as that challenge presents in nonmetropolitan areas.
