Abstract

The world of Traditional/Complementary and Alternative Medicine has grown and its importance has been emphasized in several studies. In Brazil, the National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices encourages their inclusion and empowerment in primary care. This study attempted to identify the provision of services and integrative practices in the Unified National Health System and the production of consultations from 2000 to 2011, contrasting the analysis of available information in national databases with the primary care data collected locally in Campinas (São Paulo State), Florianópolis (Santa Catarina State), and Recife (Pernambuco State). Analysis of the data revealed a mismatch between records in information systems and actual practices in these cities. This mismatch is due largely to lack of definition on the scope of what are understood as integrative and complementary practices in the Brazilian National Policy, thereby posing a major limitation to their measurement and evaluation, since current information does not allow adequate recording of such practices.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. 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 14 November 2012.
All research outputs
#20,656,820
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Cadernos de Saúde Pública
#1,382
of 1,855 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#154,304
of 198,575 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cadernos de Saúde Pública
#19
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,855 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
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 198,575 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
