Three community level measures were used as potential measures of resource availability of the community where the patient resides, including the median income at the ZIP code level, the proportion of high school graduates at the ZIP code level, and the population density at the county level.
In addition, we assessed alternate measures of food resource availability to compare our main measure findings with commonly used though conceptually different metrics: count per population 2 and distance to nearest outlet.
However, it is simple and very effective; consequently it can be used as a conservative measure of the resource availability of the networks in admission control decisions.
The last value addition services of the Hackett and Dilts model is what they call resource munificence which they define as the relative abundance of incubator resources, measured by the following: resource availability, resource equality and resource utilization.
Here, we show using path analysis how resource availability, measured as the wealth class of the family, affected the opportunity and intensity of phenotypic selection on the key life-history traits of women living in pre-industrial Finland during the 1800s and 1900s.
We examined urbanicity-specific tertiles of neighbourhood minority population (table 2) to address non-linear associations with food resource availability measures.
Furthermore, our study capitalises upon national data with roadway-scaled measures of neighbourhood food resource availability within 3 km residential network buffers for each observation.
Per capita income, consumption expenditure and wealth indexes all provide, to various extents, measures of the socioeconomic status and resource availability of the household, each with their advantages and problems.
The trial also measured (described in subsequent sections): (i) resource availability; (ii) intrapartum quality of care; and (iii) and perinatal mortality [ 7].
Several niche breadth measures thus combine proportional resource utilization with proportional resource availability [ 22- 24].
