Abstract

Deprivation is multi-dimensional, and as such can be challenging to quantify. In the UK, each of the four constituent countries measures deprivation using their own distinct index of multiple deprivation (IMD), designed to facilitate targeting of policies within that particular country. Although these four IMD scores are not directly comparable, there are circumstances where comparison across the whole of the UK may be desirable.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 January 2023.
All research outputs
#2,887,076
of 23,230,825 outputs
Outputs from Health Statistics Quarterly
#7
of 20 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,002
of 157,304 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Health Statistics Quarterly
#1
of 1 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,230,825 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.5. This one scored the same or higher as 13 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 157,304 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 1 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
