This complicates further evaluation of CV-RM implementation, as it is possible that increased CV risk is acknowledged but treatment is not initiated because of side effects, comorbidity, or patients' non-adherence.
"Although not necessarily objectively greater for female cyclists, the meanings of protecting oneself against such risks were gendered, in terms of whether those risks were acknowledged, welcomed or disavowed".
The risks are acknowledged: 39% expect a collapse in house prices; 33% expect a renewed outbreak of SARS; 23% expect there will be a major terrorist attack on the scale of September 11th 2001.
PIRg members had a key role in helping to ensure that these risks were acknowledged, that residents who expressed doubts about participation were supported in their decision making and that the team had the capacity to address any unintended consequences arising from inviting people to participate in the study and in the interviews themselves.
In patients aged <60 years, initiation of treatment was encouraged at a threshold of 140/90 mmHg (regardless of risk), although it was acknowledged that this recommendation was based on expert opinion alone.
It was assumed that children are low-risk patients, although it was acknowledged that they can also carry contagious diseases.
In previous work, transmission risk from smoking discarded tobacco was acknowledged by some participants, identifying herpes and Hepatitis C as transmission risks, whereas transmission of Hepatitis A, influenza and tuberculosis (TB) were more likely [ 35], especially as TB rates are significant among the homeless [ 37].
It was acknowledged that risk analysis procedures of the IPPC are generally concerned with phenotypic characteristics rather than genotypic characteristics and it was noted that the latter may need to be considered when assessing the phytosanitary risks of LMOs.
This time-limited function of dynamic risk assessment is acknowledged by both researchers and practitioners but most research on risk factors, whether stable or dynamic, is based on single point assessments and adopts a standard approach in examining the relationship between risk score and violent outcome i.e. inter-individual variation in terms of area under the curve (AUC) analysis [ 2].
The risk has been acknowledged.
