In the original publication [
1], the wording of the provisional English translation of questionnaire items 5, 7, and 11 in
Table 3 contained some linguistic inaccuracies; the wording of these three items has now been corrected. The corrected
Table 3 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected.
