OverviewAI-generated summary

Sue M. Neal's research centers on understanding and addressing disparities in access to veterinary care, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Her work has involved developing indices to map veterinary care accessibility and identifying "veterinary care deserts." Neal also investigates the socioeconomic factors associated with pet acquisition and rehoming, examining patterns in dog acquisition and rehoming to understand these trends. Her publications explore correlations between access to primary medical care and veterinary care providers, utilizing spatial modeling techniques. Additionally, Neal has explored conceptual analyses of research problems in animal sheltering and identified policy alternatives for establishing veterinarian-client-patient relationships virtually. Her scholarship also touches on advancing social equity through humanist approaches to mentoring in public service.
