    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine practice correlates and career patterns among NHPs.
    • To assess similarities and differences between Health Associates and Nurse Practitioners in their professional roles and settings.

    Main Results:

    • High employment rates and low job turnover were observed for most NHPs.
    • Nurse Practitioners predominantly practice in metropolitan areas, while Health Associates are more common in rural settings.
    • Health Associates engage in a wider range of specialties, see more patients, and have larger primary care caseloads compared to Nurse Practitioners.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite minimal differences in functional activities, significant contextual and practice correlates differentiate Health Associates and Nurse Practitioners.
    • Findings suggest that conceptualizing NHPs as a single homogenous group is inadequate.
    • Job satisfaction is high among most NHPs, though Health Associates anticipate higher job turnover.
