Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Interview Description
Is resiliency associated with problem drinking among young adults in the US and Uganda? An international comparison studyOlamide Akintobi AdedejiIntroduction: Resiliency is an important predictor of health behaviors, and low resiliency may be a risk factor for unhealthy stress coping strategies. Problem drinking is an unhealthy coping strategy that may disproportionately impact young adults. The relationship between drinking and resiliency may differ from country to country. In this study, we examine whether that relationship differs between the US and Uganda.Methods: 300 US young adults and 300 Ugandan young adults were surveyed. Questions included the AUDIT scale and the Brief Resilience Scale. Independent sample T-Tests were used to compare average resiliency for problem drinkers vs. non-problem drinkers in each country.Results: The final sample contained 292 Americans and 295 Ugandans. On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest, the average resiliency score was 3.07 in the US and 3.27 in Uganda. 83 Americans (28.42%) exhibited problem drinking (scores of 8 or greater on the AUDIT), while 51 Ugandans (17.29%) did so. No statistically significant relationship between problem drinking and resiliency scores was observed in either country.Discussion: While we could not detect a relationship between resiliency and drinking in this study, that may be due to the limitations of the data. We also stratified by gender, but still observed no relationship.
