Abstract

We studied casual sexual partnerships and consistency of condom use among Dutch long-term, travelers to (sub)tropical regions. Forty-two percent of casual sexual partnerships (n = 192/462) were with local partners, of which 39% were unprotected. Fewer travelers to Sub-Saharan Africa had casual sex, but partner's ethnicity was not significant in predicting condom use.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 20 April 2018.
All research outputs
#6,997,643
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Sexually Transmitted Diseases
#904
of 2,812 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#59,260
of 219,852 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Sexually Transmitted Diseases
#7
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,812 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% 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 219,852 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 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
