Cost-effectiveness analysis, a technique for allocating resources, examines the relationship between the cost of providing treatment and resulting improvement in health measured in a single, numerical scale. In applying this concept to substance abuse services, the authors expressed effectiveness in terms of additional "abstinent years." To control for differences in clients across modalities, the authors used multivariate cost-effectiveness analysis, estimating results for a typical client at each of three alternative severity levels.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. 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 18 March 2021.
All research outputs
#5,140,676
of 34,361,833 outputs
Outputs from Psychiatric clinics of North America
#240
of 1,106 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,373
of 52,982 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Psychiatric clinics of North America
#3
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,361,833 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,106 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 15.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% 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 52,982 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 79% 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 4 of them.
