In our recently published article [1], there were mistakes in Table 1 as published. The corrected Table 1 appears as below, which includes a typographical error noted by Dr Batra. Moreover, to avoid confusion, we keep the percentage data in the bracket only in the “correct answer” column. Our footnote defines “correct rate” as: correct answer rate = sum of correct answers/total number of answers.
Table 1.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) preventive knowledge, and depression, anxiety disorders of college students categorized by socio-demographic characteristics (N = 933).
After the corrections, we calculated new p values for the correct answer rate (also relevant to Table 1). A correction has been made to 3.1 Preventive Knowledge, Anxiety Disorders, and Depression; one of the p values that was p = 0.037 is revised as p < 0.001 (our update of Table 1). The other correction has been made to 3.4. Predictors of Anxiety Disorder and Depression Using Multivariable Logistic Regression and Path Analysis; 426 (48.7%) is revised as 426 (45.7%), also a typographical error. We are sorry for the mistakes and appreciate Dr. Batra bringing them to our attention. Our scientific conclusions are unaffected.
