  • Title: Family planning funds increased tenfold since FY 1971 while staff remained constant.
    Journal: Fam Plann Popul Rep; 1977 Oct; 6(5):62-5. PubMed ID: 12308833.
    Abstract:
    State health and welfare agencies administered about $126 million in family planning funds in FY 1976, a 10-fold increase over FY 1971, with little increase in staff. Although family planning personnel in health agencies increased from 85 to 147, staff in welfare agencies decreased from 9 to 7 and part-time professional staff was just over 300 in both years, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute's 6th annual survey of family planning services. In FY 1976 family planning funds came through 5 separate Federal programs. 1/3 of all funding was concentrated in California, Georgia, Louisiana, and Tennessee and nearly 40% of the increase came in these states. California spent $20.2 million. Louisiana was next with $7.9 million. The largest source of funds was Title 10, providing some $45.2 million to 37 state health agencies. Title 5 grant funds provided $20.2 million to 43 states and the District of Columbia. Title 20 contracts totaled $18.7 million in 19 states and general health agency funds of $6 million in 5 states. Wyoming reported it neither received nor spent any family planning funds. Use of family planning services paralleled funds received. Tables show levels of funding in each state, staff levels, and state welfare agency planning funds in 1971 and 1976.
