An error has been reported in the article by James E. Aikens, PhD, Donald E. Nease, Jr, MD, David P. Nau,PhD, Michael S. Klinkman,MD, MS, and Thomas L. Schwenk, MD. Adherence to maintenance-phase antidepressant medication as a function of patient beliefs about medication. Ann Fam Med. 2005;3:23–30.
In the “Results” subsection “Validity and Confound Checks” (page 26), the following sentence erroneously contained the 2 variables “medication beliefs” and “adherence.”
“Student t tests and χ2 analyses, however, showed no significant differences in medication adherence between groups based on depression severity, medication beliefs, adherence, medical comorbidity, age, or sex; nor did adherence differ significantly by whether a patient saw a mental health professional.”
The correct version of this statement should read: “Student t tests and χ2 analyses, however, showed no significant differences in medication adherence between groups based on depression severity, medical comorbidity, age, or sex; nor did adherence differ significantly by whether a patient saw a mental health professional.”
The author regrets the error.
