A Corrigendum on
Mental Health in Australia: Psychological Distress Reported in Six Consecutive Cross-Sectional National Surveys From 2001 to 2018

by Enticott, J., Dawadi, S., Shawyer, F., Inder, B., Fossey, E., Teede, H., Rosenberg, S., Ozols AM, I., and Meadows, G. (2022). Front. Psychiatry 13:815904. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.815904

In the original article, there was an error. Unfortunately, some important text in the discussion was misplaced.

A correction has been made to Discussion, “Changes Vary Between Subgroups,” paragraph one:

The original text, “Very-high distress in women aged 55–64 has doubled this century (from 3.5 to 7.2%) and combined high/very-high distress has increased by 50% (12.4–18.7%), both of which are highly significant findings. Very-high distress also increased in males, significantly in those aged 25–34 years. Overall, distress was greatest in women aged 18–24 years during all years; 8.0% for very-high levels and 22.1% for combined high/very-high in 2017/18. (2.1–4.0%), but overall is a more tentative finding since a significant increase did not extend to the combined high/very-high distress metric (10.6–11.5%).” has been corrected to:
