In: Kypri K, Voas RB, Langley JD, Stephenson SCR, Begg DJ, Tippetts AS, and Davie GS. Minimum purchasing age for alcohol and traffic crash injuries among 15- to 19-year-olds in New Zealand. Am J Public Health. 2006;96:126–131. doi:10.2105/ AJPH.2005.073122.
Some of the language in the abstract, results, and discussion sections inaccurately described the results concerning injuries from crashes involving alcohol. Injuries to persons of any age, occurring in crashes in which an alcohol-impaired driver was in the relevant study age group (aged 15–17, 18–19, or 20–24 years), were included in the results.
For example, the first sentence under “Results” (p128) should have read: “Table 1 presents the incidence rates for injuries to persons of any age occurring in crashes in which a young male driver was judged to be alcohol-impaired, before and after the reduction in minimum purchasing age.” The results themselves are not affected.
