Abstract

From 1960 to 1990, the Fundação de Serviços de Saúde Pública (Public Health Services Foundation) was in charge of a network of health services across Brazil, in continuation of work previously done by the Serviço Especial de Saúde Pública (Special Public Health Service). The article presents a 2010 research conducted in the state of Amazonas regarding the Foundation's activities among indigenous populations based on interviews with the Foundation's personnel and the analysis of its documentation. The findings indicate that while the Foundation had no formal policy for indigenous populations, in practice its staff did serve indigenes since in most municipalities in the interior of Amazonas they comprised a significant number of the inhabitants.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 10 August 2022.
All research outputs
#6,783,328
of 25,457,858 outputs
Outputs from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#659
of 1,628 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#73,591
of 321,348 outputs
Outputs of similar age from História, Ciências, Saúde-Manguinhos
#12
of 38 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,457,858 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,628 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.1. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% 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 321,348 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 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 38 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
