Maybe there's a backstage cinematography competition, like the second tier model competition on Project Runway".
The academic profession is being reshaped according to a two tier model – a shrinking core of relatively secure permanent staff gradually being withdrawn from teaching to focus on the prestige (and grant money) brought by research, and a growing periphery of workers on short term or hourly-paid contracts who do the job of teaching students.
Finally, because the FDS:tier model was the most important new knowledge generated in our analyses, and because there is extensive prior evidence regarding tier:copayment and copayment:adherence relationships, we combined our FDS:tier model estimates with this prior evidence.
Although including this predictor did not alter the OR of 1.9 for e-prescribing with interruptive and non-interruptive FDS among high users, we decided not to include this predictor in the FDS:tier model described in Table 3.
Because our prior work found that usage of the FDS intervention varied widely [ 12], the FDS:tier model includes the interaction between the extent of FDS usage and the type of FDS present.
We also combined prior estimates of tier:copayment and copayment:adherence associations with our FDS:tier model to project the effect of FDS on adherence in a manner robust to the tier:copayment and copayment:adherence relationships of our studied setting.
It was excluded because there were only a small number of claims from patients with pediatric PCPs, and because this small number of claims substantially affected the overall FDS:tier model such that the predicted probability of preferred tier medications differed substantially from our raw data.
Given that our tier:copayment and copayment:adherence associations were much weaker than prior findings and may have been unique to the studied setting, we also combined prior estimates of these relationships with our FDS:tier model to predict the most likely effect of FDS on adherence.
