Correction: The burden of substance use and (mental) distress among asylum seekers: a cross sectional study

Abstract

Full text

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. There was a typing error with the counts for Religion. Islam was listed as 183 (correct: 184) and Christianity as 26 (correct: 25). The percentages for Islam and Christianity were off by 0.4 percentage points (76.9% → 77.3%; 10.9% → 10.5%).

The correct Table 1 appears below.

A correction has been made to the section 3 Results, 3.2 Sociodemographic. In the text describing the counts of different religions among participants, values were reported partly incorrect as they were deriving from the typographical error in Table 1. The number of participants identifying as Muslim (Islam) was reported as 1 too low (183 instead of 184), the number of participants identifying as Christians was reported as 1 too high (26 instead of 25), and the percentage value of Christians accordingly was too high (10.9% instead of 10.5%). In the “Others” category, the percentage value was reported as 0.4 too low (11.8% instead of 12.2%). The corrected text reads:

“With regard to religious/spiritual beliefs, a majority (n = 184, 77.3%) described themselves as being Muslim. The second largest group was formed by Christians (n = 25, 10.5%) and a variety of other religious/spiritual orientations (Atheism, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, “others”) was quoted and sub summarized in the category “others” (n = 29, 12.2%) for statistical analysis”.
