English term or phrase: Minimize how bad

Hola todos:

Por favcor, me gustarían que me dieran una mano con esta frase que me tiene compliacdo:

"you should attempt to minimize how bad affect is"

Es affect, mo effect.

Les doy el contexto.

if you are not able to eliminate the weaknesses or to reduce the likehooh that theses weakness could have and adverse effect on your enforcement effeorts, you should attempt to minimize how bad that affect is.

Saludos
