Correction to: Quality of Life Research
This correction addresses errors in table 7, S1 and S3, and makes a change to the footnote of table S4. The correction in table S1 addresses a misspelling of Dr. Amy Cizik’s name. This has been corrected. The errors in tables 7 and S3 are in the format and wording of the sleep questions. The sleep1 question is incorrectly specified as “I had problems during the day because of my sleep.” It should be specified as “I had problems during the day because of poor sleep”. This has been corrected. In addition, the “problems during the day” question should have response options “Not at all - very much” and the “trouble sleeping” question should have response options “Never – Always” thus the questions were reordered in corrected tables 7 and S3 to align with their correct response options. The footnote in table S4 was modified to alert users to the fact that questions sleep1 and sleep2 are presented in reverse order in table S3.
The correct version of table 7 and the supplementary information files are provided in this correction.
