A corrigendum on
Sociodemographic correlates and mental health comorbidities in adolescents with social anxiety: the Young-HUNT3 study, Norway

by Jystad, I., Bjerkeset, O., Haugan, T., Sund, E. R., and Vaag, J. (2021). Front. Psychol. 12:663161. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.663161

In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. In the rows, “Mean all social anxiety items (SPAI-C) (SD)” and “Mean anxiety and depression items (SCL-5) (SD)” the mean values for SPAI-C and SCL-5 were erroneously reported with standard errors (SE) instead of standard deviations (SD). The corrected Table 1 appears below.

TABLE 1
www.frontiersin.org

Table 1. Descriptive characteristics of adolescents in Young-HUNT3 categorized/identified as Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM IV: child version (ADIS-C) screening negative, ADIS-C screening positive, screening positive not met to interview, and as diagnosed social anxiety disorder (SAD) cases.

In addition, there was also an error in Table 2 as published. The row “All” in the section “Help Seeking” was erroneously excluded. The corrected Table 2 appears below.

TABLE 2
www.frontiersin.org

Table 2. Age- and sex adjusted associations (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval) between sociodemographic and health-related variables and the different subgroups of social anxiety.

In addition, there was also an error in Materials and methods, Measures, “Social Anxiety Disorder Screening and Clinical Interview (n = 6,610 and 212)”, “Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM IV: Child Version”, Paragraph 1. The number of participants who were asked the three social anxiety items was incorrectly stated as “n = 6,6610”, but should be “n = 6,610”. The corrected paragraph appears below.

The Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM IV: Child Version is a semi-structured interview used to diagnose anxiety disorders and other mental disorders in children and adolescents, according to the DSM-IV criteria (American Psychiatric Association, 2000; Rasmussen and Neumer, 2015). In the present study, the interview modules for SAD, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), separation anxiety disorder (SEP), specific phobias (SPH), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), dysthymia, and depression were used. For more convenient administration and coding, the modules were slightly shortened. In addition, questions regarding symptoms of substance abuse were asked, yet a diagnostic evaluation of substance abuse cannot be set based on the ADIS-C interview alone (Rasmussen and Neumer, 2015). The original version of ADIS-C has shown promising reliability (Lyneham et al., 2007), whereas research on psychometric properties of the Norwegian version is limited (Rasmussen and Neumer, 2015). However, the instrument is widely used in specialist health service, and items largely resemble the diagnostic criteria described in DSM-IV. It is highly recommended that it is used/applied only by trained clinicians with knowledge to the instrument and the diagnostic criteria (Rasmussen and Neumer, 2015). All participants (n = 6,610) were asked the following three social anxiety items from the ADIS-C (yes/no): “When you are with others, at school, in restaurants or at parties, do you ever feel that people might think that something you do is stupid or dumb?”, “When you are with other people at school, restaurants, or parties, do you think that people might laugh at you?”, and “When you are in these situations with others (school, restaurants, and parties), do you worry that you might do something that will make you feel ashamed or embarrassed?”. Individuals who answered yes to one or more questions were considered SP (n = 388) and invited to participate in a complete ADIS-C interview performed by specially trained psychiatric nurses. Those who answered no to all three questions were considered screening negative (SN; n = 6,222).

The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
