A Corrigendum on
The Effect of COVID-19 on Mental Health and Wellbeing in a Representative Sample of Australian Adults

by Dawel, A., Shou, Y., Smithson, M., Cherbuin, N., Banfield, M., Calear, A. L., et al. (2020). Front. Psychiatry 11:579985. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2020.579985

In the original article, there was an error in Table 3 as published. The prevalence of depression and generalized anxiety in our sample appeared in the wrong rows. The main text of the original article did however report the prevalence rates correctly, i.e., the statement “Overall, 20.3% and 16.4% of our sample scored above the clinical cut-offs on our depression (PHQ-9) and anxiety (GAD-7) measures respectively.” (p. 4 of original article) is correct. The corrected Table 3 appears below.

TABLE 3

Table 3. Prevalence of depression and generalized anxiety based on self-reported current mental health diagnosis.

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

Keywords: coronavirus, COVID-19, bushfire, mental health, anxiety, depression, financial strain
