A corrigendum on
Motivating factors and barriers to help-seeking for casino gamblers: results from a survey in Swiss casinos
by Lischer, S., Schwarz, J., Wallimann, H., Jeannot, E., and Mathys, J. (2023). Front. Psychiatry. 14:1128291. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1128291
In the published article, percentages were misrepresented in Table 4, “Use of gambling-specific help services (SOGS-R ≥ 1, n = 23, multiple choice)”.
The adjusted percentages are shown below.
TABLE 4
Table 4. Use of gambling-specific help services (SOGS-R ≥ 1, n = 23, multiple choice).
The incorrectly presented percentages in Table 4 were reproduced in the text in two places.
A correction was made in the Results, Type of gambling-specific help service, second Paragraph. These sentences previously stated:
“Outpatient addiction counseling services are the most used form of gambling-specific help service (39.5% uptake). Self-help groups are the second most frequently used help service (21.1%).
The corrected sentences appear below:
“Outpatient addiction counseling services are the most used form of gambling-specific help service (65.2% uptake). Self-help groups are the second most frequently used help service (34.8%).
Another correction was made in the Discussion, third Paragraph. These sentences previously stated:
“Twenty three individuals, (10.7% of the sample who participated in the second wave of the survey) reported using help services. The most widely used forms of support were specialized addiction centers, which by their nature included psychotherapists and psychiatrists (39.5%), followed by self-help groups (21.1%) and remote counseling services (10.5%). 10.5% of respondents reported having sought support from significant others.”
The corrected sentences appear below:
“Twenty-three individuals, (10.7% of the sample who participated in the second wave of the survey) reported using help services. The most widely used forms of support were specialized addiction centers, which by their nature included psychotherapists and psychiatrists (65.2%), followed by self-help groups (34.8%) and remote counseling services (17.4%). 17.4% of respondents reported having sought support from significant others.”
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.
