Journal Article
Resource and Cost Adjustment in the Design of Allocation Funding Formulas in Public Health Programs
2012
Overview
Context: Multiple federal public health programs use funding formulas to allocate funds to states. Objective: To characterize the effects of adjusting formula-based allocations for differences among states in the cost of implementing programs, the potential for generating in-state resources, and income disparities, which might be associated with disease risk. Setting: Fifty US states and the District of Columbia. Intervention: Formula-based funding allocations to states for 4 representative federal public health programs were adjusted using indicators of cost (average salaries), potential within-state revenues (per-capita income, the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage, per-capita aggregate home values), and income disparities (Theil index). Main Outcome: Percentage of allocation shifted by adjustment, the number of states and the percentage of US population living in states with a more than 20% increase or decrease in funding, maximum percentage increase or decrease in funding. Results: Each adjuster had a comparable impact on allocations across the 4 program allocations examined. Approximately 2% to 8% of total allocations were shifted, with adjustments for variations in income disparity and housing values having the least and greatest effects, respectively. The salary cost and per-capita income adjusters were inversely correlated and had offsetting effects on allocations. With the exception of the housing values adjustment, fewer than 10 states had more than 20% increases or decreases in allocations, and less than 10% of the US population lived in such states. Conclusions: Selection of adjusters for formula-based funding allocations should consider the impacts of different adjustments, correlations between adjusters and other data elements in funding formulas, and the relationship of formula inputs to program objectives.
