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
The purpose of this community-based research was to examine the experiences of Canadian Aboriginal youth regarding accessing HIV testing and care services. We used a mixed method exploratory research design; 413 participants completed a self-administered survey and 25 youth participated in in-depth semistructured interviews. Findings reported here are from the 26 survey participants (12.4%) and nine interview participants (28.9%) who self-reported being positive for HIV. Results of this study suggest that some Aboriginal youth do not test for HIV until late in the course of their disease, and once diagnosed, a significant number of youth delay accessing care. Support from friends, family, and others is an important motivator for youth to initiate care and treatment. Integrated, comprehensive, youth-friendly, and culturally safe services are important to keep youth in care. © 2011 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
