We examined the relationship between physician adherence with a smoking cessation guideline and organizational structures, policies, leadership support, and physician knowledge and attitudes. A random sample of 844 physicians practicing in 127 VHA hospitals was surveyed. Survey results were aggregated to the hospital level and linked with data on organizational characteristics from the 1998 annual survey of hospitals by the American Hospital Association. Significant predictors of adherence included organizational policies related to nicotine replacement prescriptions, the timing and effectiveness of guideline implementation, physicians' knowledge of VHA clinical guidelines generally, and physicians' beliefs about the receptiveness of patients to smoking cessation.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 01 January 2004.
All research outputs
#9,515,462
of 27,786,078 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Ambulatory Care Management
#149
of 783 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#47,653
of 137,087 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Ambulatory Care Management
#1
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,786,078 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 783 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% 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 137,087 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
