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.

Thesis / Dissertation Description
Background: Approximately 14% - 20% of children and adolescents have a mental health problem (Harrison, Cluxton-Keller, and Gross, 2012). Atypical Antipsychotic Agents (AAA) are used to treat behavioral, emotional, and mental health problems in children and adolescents. A discrepancy between best practices and actual practices exist. Objective: To increase adherence, above baseline, to recommended screening guidelines in children, ages 4-18, prescribed Atypical Antipsychotic Agents over 12 weeks. Results: Aggregate comparison of the mean ranks of scores were tested with the Mann-Whitney U test, U = 1,087.5, n1 = n2 = 70, total N =140, p < .001. All seven variables were observed and tested using the Chi Square with Fisher's Exact tests and are significant at or above 99% confidence (p <0.01). Conclusion: Educating the Mental Health Provider (MHP) on the recommended screening guidelines and implementing a checklist had a measurable effect on increasing adherence to the recommended screening guidelines.
