Attrition rates range from 3.2%to77%77 % across different settings [ 8]. High CHW-attrition rates lead to discontinuity in service provision, increased costs to recruit and train new CHWs and lost opportunities to build on work experience, resulting in diminished effects on health outcomes [ 8].
Since OS participants on HT began HT several years before enrolment, a diminished effect of HT with time could explain an OS/RCT difference.
In addition, increasing the temperature resulted in diminished effects viscosity on the V max (11).
Except for the first feature, the selection order of other features into the prediction model was based on the diminished effect from the previous selected features.
If true, the finding that many HIV-negative women report non-consensual sex suggests a changing effect of coerced sex on HIV over time, e.g., a diminished effect when HIV becomes more established in the general population.
Adjusting for other social disadvantage features (SD in Table 4) had little impact on effect size (estimated beta values), and adjusting for health status (H in Table 4) diminished effect size only slightly (results not shown).
The direct effect of "influences" on ICIT change fades away when receptivity variables are entered in the model, except for coercive influence which still has a significant, though diminished effect (Table 3).
The model size should be moderate with diminished boundary effect on the simulation results.
