Staffing and Budget Levels at Local STD Programs by County-Level Sociodemographic Characteristics During COVID-19
We examined the relationship between local health department sexually transmitted disease (STD) program staffing and budget changes and county-level sociodemographic characteristics. We found 2 population-level sociodemographic characteristics associated with STD budget cuts. Although staffing cuts were observed, none of the sociodemographic characteristics examined were associated with STD staffing cuts.
