Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This pilot study investigates the correlation between psychological stress and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence and plasma HIV RNA (viral load) as mediated by psychological flexibility among Black men in the south. Data were collected from 48 HIV-positive, low income Black men. Results indicate a strong positive correlation between perceived stress and psychological inflexibility (adjusted for age and income r = 0.67; p < 0.001), a negative correlation between psychological inflexibility and ART adherence (adjusted r = − 0.32; p = 0.03), a negative correlation between perceived stress and ART adherence (adjusted r = − 0.45; p = 0.006), and a negative correlation between ART adherence and viral load (adjusted r = − 0.37; p = 0.04). Our findings suggest stress decreases adherence to ART and viral suppression among Black men living with HIV. However, psychological flexibility did not mediate the relationship between stress and treatment adherence. Hair cortisol concentrations were high (mean of 34.2 pg/mg), but uncorrelated with adherence.
