Abstract:

This document shows the allocation of funds to states under the substance abuse prevention and substance abuse treatment programs contained in the proposed Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1986 H.R. 5334. The allocations were generated using formulas selected by Subcommittee staff from several alternatives. This fact sheet shows state allotments for substance abuse prevention, using a formula based on each states relative share of the nations youth population ages 5 through 24 and an annual appropriation of 50 million. It also shows state allotments for substance abuse treatment, using a formula based on each states relative share of the population ages 15 through 64 weighted by the states relative personal income an an annual appropriation of 100 million.
