Question number 8 asks me to describe the location of my pharmacy. I work in the suburbs, am I classified as urban (city) or rural (country)?
Definitions used to designate an urban or rural setting are as follows: Urban: An urban setting is located inside a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), designated by the U.S.Office of Management and Budget, which is a geographically defined, integrated social and economic unit with a population of at least 50,000. Rural: A rural setting is located outside a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), as designated by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (see above). Following are examples for answering questions number 2, 3, and 4 for different categories, types, and ownership of pharmacies. The example given should be written as a response on the form or selected from the drop down boxes for online data submission.
