Rural Public Health Financing: The Relationship Between Infrastructure and Local Program Funding (Policy Brief)

The purpose of this study was to describe how federal funds for selected chronic disease prevention and health promotion activities are distributed to local health departments and non-governmental organizations at the local level and to identify infrastructure-related barriers that rural agencies may face in securing and using funds for such purposes. A central hypothesis was that the availability of federal funding for chronic disease prevention and health promotion activities may vary based on state and local public health infrastructural differences.
