What is known about the role of rural-urban residency in relation to self-management in people affected by cancer who have completed primary treatment? A scoping review.

If rural and urban populations define their health in different ways as some of the extant literature suggests, then efforts to support self-management in both populations will need to be better informed by robust evidence given the increasing focus on patient-centred care. It is important to consider if residency can be a predictor of as well as a barrier or facilitator to self-management.
