| Abstract |
In the USA, the burden of hepatitis B disproportionately affects high-risk adults who alone account for more than 75% of newly reported hepatitis B virus infections each year. Despite the localization of new infections in identifiable high-risk groups, vaccination rates in this subgroup, with the exception of health care workers, remain consistently low. The purpose of this study was to characterize those at risk for hepatitis B transmission and quantify the association between missed opportunities and hepatitis B vaccination. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 08 February 2012.
All research outputs
#4,622,520
of 22,661,413 outputs
Outputs from Infection
#233
of 1,397 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,635
of 243,452 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Infection
#2
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,661,413 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,397 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% 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 243,452 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 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
