Peer reviewedHargrove, David S.; Melton, Gary B. – Journal of Rural Community Psychology, 1987
Block granting disburses mental health funds largely at the discretion of state mental health authorities, and state priorities typically focus on the most severely ill persons. Rural centers may suffer because multipurpose programs responding to a wide range of community needs are excluded from the mental health service delivery concept. (JHZ)
