| Abstract |
People who inject drugs (PWID) in Dar es Salaam have an estimated HIV prevalence of 42%-50% compared to 6.9% among the general population. Extensive evidence supports methadone maintenance to lower morbidity, mortality and transmission of HIV and other infectious diseases among PWID. In 2011, the Tanzanian government launched the first publicly funded methadone clinic on the mainland of sub-Saharan Africa at Muhimbili National Hospital. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 12 September 2014.
All research outputs
#12,607,342
of 22,756,196 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#11,056
of 15,769 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#102,159
of 226,264 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Infectious Diseases
#120
of 264 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,756,196 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 15,769 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 30.3. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 226,264 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 264 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
