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.
