The primary care organization (PCO) partnership was based on Rural\u2010Urban Continuum Codes (RUCCs). To recruit patients, CORC partnered with two PCOs in urban counties (RUCC = 3) and four PCOs in rural counties (RUCC &gt;3).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 527 participants, 75% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 394) lived in rural areas overall; 43.3% resided in large rural areas, 38.3% in small rural areas, and 18.4% in isolated rural areas. Nearly all (97.3%) participants recruited from the four PCOs located in rural counties lived in FORHP\u2010designated rural areas, whereas urban PCOs contributed both rural (53.3%) and urban participants.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Partnering with rural PCOs in a pragmatic clinical trial led to successful recruitment of rural patients.
