Observatory of Health Inequality
INDICATORS AND RESULTS
In 2016, we partly continued with the management, communication and content dissemination of the web portal of the Health Inequality Observatory (ODS); the activity nevertheless dropped considerably in the second and third quarter due to cancellation of the Project manager’s contract. Furthermore, in 2016 a manuscript was drawn up based on the result of the ODS performed and presented in the 2015 report to the international Journal of Medical Informatics and is now being reviewed.
WEB UPLOADS
The ODS has 3166 scientific resources in health inequalities available (reports, articles, statistics, manuals, programmes, web pages, etc.). Over the first quarter of 2016 36 new resources were published.
WEB ANALYSIS
In 2016 17 new subscribers were analysed, now reaching a figure of 318 subscribers including scientific- academic staff, students and different institutions.
686 visits have been recorded and 1158 pages have been viewed, according to Google Analytics data. Roughly 54% of the visits stem from referrals, 36% of the visits were made through search engines such as Google (organic traffic), around 10% of the visits came from social networks and under 1% by typing in the full domain name (direct traffic).
From knowledge of the geographical origin available (17% are unknown), in 2016 the source of the visits to the ODS was mainly from outside Spain (over 99%). Most of the visits come from Russia (22%), United Kingdom (19%) and the United States (16%), on the other hand the visits from Latin-American countries dropped, mainly coming from Brazil and Chile.
