This assumption is clearly consistent with the service enrollment point estimates for months 24, 36 and 48, which are progressively smaller than impacts at month 12, and which suggest that service enrollment for those mailed Tickets late in the rollout had essentially caught up to service enrollment for those mailed Tickets earlier (see Stapleton et al. 2013).
Informed consent was obtained from all participants before screening and at enrollment, consistent with the Helsinki Declaration and the guidelines of each center's institutional review board.
In particular, this index was found to be 0.60 ± 0.067 and 0.57 ± 0.045 at time 0 (pre-surgery) and 12 weeks after injection, respectively, consistent with animal enrollment at 16 months, when degeneration was maximal.
The verbal consent process was consistent with the ethical expectation at the time of enrollment.
Programs quasi-randomly assigned to a lower star rating also experienced enrollment declines, which is consistent with the hypothesis that parents responded to information about program quality by selectively enrolling away from programs with lower ratings.
The prevalence of intestinal helminths at enrollment was near zero, consistent with the mass-drug treatment program in this region of Mali, whereas the prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium in the urine was 7.4 %, mostly among adolescents and adults.
Cases met epilepsy criteria consistent with the International League Against Epilepsy diagnostic guidelines, with continuous medical and pharmacy enrollment without an epilepsy or seizure diagnosis or AED prescription during baseline.
This is consistent with the effects of being in the TTP on flagship enrollment in subsequent years being positive but fading out relative to the effect in year 1.
This assumption is clearly consistent with the acceptance of the linearity restrictions for the service enrollment estimates as of month 12 (shown earlier) as well as analogous restrictions for months (24, 36 and 48 not shown).
We also noted PBB-weight loss interactions with enrollment PBB tertiles that were consistent with the models for estimated current PBB tertiles and bleed length (test for interaction: p = 0.08) (Table 6).
