Table 6. PWID prevalence trend analysis with linear, quadratic and cubic models of time.
Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | |
Intercept | 109.58** | 107.08** | 107.27** |
Linear (years since 2000 | −1.37** | −1.25** | −0.89** |
Quadratic (years since 2000 squared) | – | 0.20** | 0.10** |
Cubic (years since 2000 cubed) | – | – | −0.01 |
pseudo-p<0.001;
pseudo-p<0.05.
Note: To minimize potential multicollinearity time is centered at the year 2000. Model 3 is the best model by likelihood ratio test.
