Abstract

This introduction to the special section frames the idea of a public health approach to couple and family interventions as focusing upon the impact of interventions on outcomes at the population level. It notes the importance of looking at how evidence-based interventions can be used more effectively at the population level. It also stresses that the goals for population-level studies are different from randomized clinical trials. Public health interventions need evidence that the interventions can be used in widespread practice, that the interventions are cost effective when used as designed, and that monitoring and evaluation tools are available for adopting agencies. Finally, this introduction introduces the three articles of the series.

Attention Score in Context

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 06 October 2009.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Family Psychology
#730
of 1,860 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#34,791
of 97,952 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Family Psychology
#6
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,860 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% 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 97,952 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
