| Abstract |
Forty-six medical students were administered the Opinion About Mental Illness (OMI) questionnaire and Derogatis' Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R) before and after an eight-week academic and clinical course in psychiatry. Significant changes were found after the course on dimensions of Benevolence and Interpersonal Etiology, and mean scores on the community portion of the OMI scale revealed movement in a positive direction. Using multiple regression analysis the pre-test attitude scores accounted for most of the variance on post-test attitudes. Stereotyping, a very important dimension of the OMI scale, was not rejected on either the pre-course or post-course measures. The students' own psychological distress did not have an effect on attitude change. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. 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 27 January 2016.
All research outputs
#6,429,291
of 22,842,950 outputs
Outputs from Academic Psychiatry
#345
of 1,425 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#83,002
of 330,292 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Academic Psychiatry
#13
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,842,950 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 70th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,425 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% 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 330,292 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 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 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 72% of its contemporaries.
