| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to report the experience of an epidemiological field survey for which data were collected and analyzed using tablets. The devices used Epi Info 7 (Android version), which has been modeled a database with variables of the traditional form. Twenty-one households were randomly selected in the study area; 75 residents were registered and completed household interviews with socioeconomic and environmental risk variables. This new technology is a valuable tool for collecting and analyzing data from the field, with advantageous benefits to epidemiological surveys. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. 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 May 2018.
All research outputs
#2,693,349
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
#36
of 1,193 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,005
of 361,176 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
#1
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,193 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% 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 361,176 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 89% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 96% of its contemporaries.
