Recent Changes in Prevention Funding to Areas With High Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Sexually Transmitted Disease Rates.

ABSTRACT: We examined changes in federal sexually transmitted disease funding allocations to areas with high racial/ethnic disparities in sexually transmitted diseases after the implementation of a funding formula in 2014. The funding formula increased prevention funding allocations to areas with high relative racial/ethnic disparities. Results were mixed for areas with high absolute disparities.
