A Corrigendum on
Problematic Use of Alcohol and Online Gaming as Coping Strategies During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Mini Review
by Xu, S., Park, M., Kang, U. G., Choi, J.-S., and Koo, J. W. (2021). Front. Psychiatry 12:685964. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2021.685964
In the original article, there was an error. We cited data from an “Australian” survey, not an “Austrian” study. A correction has been made to section ‘Problematic Online Gaming Use During the Covid-19 Pandemic’, paragraph one:
“According to an Australian survey, only 2.1% of the 2,004 participants reported negative consequences of video games.”
In the original article, there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. There is a typo in a 5th row. The date is not May 19th, but May 29th. Also, in the same row, we clarify the main finding of reference 53 about a beneficial effect of videogame to mental health. The corrected table appears below.
TABLE 2
Table 2. Literature review of online gaming use during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
