| Abstract |
This study aimed to investigate whether contraction in services has led to inequitable service levels or simply large local variations. Previous attempts to explain service variations with aggregate, municipal level data have failed. We link representative Swedish data from 3,267 individuals aged 65 and older in 2002-2003 with coverage rates of public Home Help services in the 288 municipalities in which they reside. What past attempts have masked is that needs also vary substantially between municipalities; needs being defined as old people who live alone and need help with their activities of daily living (ADL). Once these local individual level variations are incorporated, municipal differences in public Home Help coverage largely vanish. Multivariate analyses confirm that advanced age, inability to perform ADL and solitary living are the major determinants of Home Help use. Variations in local supply have no association with individual use of public Home Help. These services are unequal but hence yet deemed to be reasonably equitable. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 December 2018.
All research outputs
#4,798,770
of 25,292,646 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Ageing
#129
of 374 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#13,318
of 85,759 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Ageing
#1
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,292,646 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 374 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% 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 85,759 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 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 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
