| Abstract |
to estimate the prevalence of use of psychotropic medicines and associated factors in adults and elderly, and to identify the main classes used. cross-sectional population-based study, conducted in Campinas-SP, Brazil (January/2008-April/2009); chi-square Rao-Scott test and Poisson multiple regression were applied. the study included 2,472 individuals and the prevalence of use of at least one psychotropic medication in the three previous days was 6.8% (95%CI 5.5;8.1); in the adjusted analyses, there were positive associations between use and female sex (PR=1.48; 95%CI 1.01;2.18), worse health perception (PR=2.10; 95%CI 1.13;3.89), common mental disorder (PR=1.66; 95%CI 1.09;2.51) and emotional problems (PR=8.04; 95%CI 4.87;13.02); black/brown-skinned individuals presented significantly lower use (PR=0.58; 95%CI 0.39;0.88); antidepressants (52.6%), anxiolytics (28.1%) and antipsychotics (17.0%) were the most used. inequalities regarding sex and ethnicity/skin color were observed; the findings contribute to the evaluation of the rational use of these drugs. |

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 12 January 2018.
All research outputs
#19,951,180
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Epidemiologia e Serviços de Saúde
#246
of 411 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#248,688
of 340,752 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Epidemiologia e Serviços de Saúde
#8
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 411 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% 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 340,752 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
