Abstract
Rural populations in Europe face health inequalities due to a multitude of factors, including the higher prevalence of multi-morbidity, inadequate access to primary and secondary health care services, and widespread health workforce shortages. Although some challenges are also present in other contexts, the multitude and interconnectedness of these factors induce significant health inequalities. Research is a prime tool to demonstrate these, examine potential rural-specific solutions and serve as an essential advocacy instrument for change. Rural primary care remains however significantly underrepresented in European research, contributing further to the health inequities as policies and interventions are often based on urban-centric data. Therefore, advancing evidence-based solutions for rural primary healthcare requires stronger research collaboration. In response, the Rural Health European Academic Network (RHEAN) was established in 2024 to expand academic partnerships beyond the WONCA Europe network EURIPA, the European Rural and Isolated Practitioners Association. This paper identifies rural-specific primary care challenges emerging from key literature and network discussions that shape RHEAN's collaborative research agenda. The agenda will be refined through a mapping survey of rural primary healthcare research and education within the networks.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
