Algorithms for Resource Allocation of Substance Abuse Prevention Funds Based on Composite Risk-Factor Index Score: A Case Study of Florida--Part 2.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kim, Sehwan; Wurster, Leslie; Williams, Charles; Hepler, Nancy – Journal of Drug Education, 1998
Presents a model for resource allocation of state-prevention funds based on the relative need for prevention services measured in terms of composite risk-factor index scores computed for each county. Suggests that funding be based on the resource-allocation algorithms rather than the suggested amount of funding computed for each county.…

Algorithms for Resource Allocation of Substance Abuse Prevention Funds Based on the Estimated Need: A Case Study on State of Florida--Part 1.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kim, Sehwan; Wurster, Leslie; Williams, Charles; Hepler, Nancy – Journal of Drug Education, 1998
The first of three articles that develop a framework for county-based prevention-resource-allocation algorithms based on the aggravated need for substance-abuse-prevention services estimated at the county level. Algorithm development is based on (1) statewide student drug survey, and (2) a set of social indicators routinely published by agencies…
