| Abstract |
Older adults with a visual impairment are particularly vulnerable for increased depression and anxiety symptoms; however, they tend to underutilise mental health services. The present study aims to characterise the perceived need for and barriers to use mental health services in visually impaired older adults based on Andersen's behavioural model. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. 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 17 November 2014.
All research outputs
#5,695,507
of 22,770,070 outputs
Outputs from Quality of Life Research
#520
of 2,843 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#61,646
of 256,836 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Quality of Life Research
#8
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,770,070 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,843 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
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 256,836 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 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
