An article reporting results of a survey concerning the influence of interactions with the pharmaceutical industry1 contained two errors introduced in the course of editing:
- On page 381, the second paragraph before the Discussion section should read as follows:
- Respondents were about evenly split in terms of agreement with the statement “My relationship to the pharmaceutical industry promotes my professionalism and helps me care for my patients”: 44% (96/220) disagreed [not “agreed”] or somewhat disagreed whereas 37% (81/220) agreed or somewhat agreed.
- On page 384, in the paragraph about study limitations, the fourth sentence should read as follows:
- For example, a disproportionately large [not “small”] number of very experienced pharmacists participated, so these results may not reflect the views of younger pharmacists.
We apologize for these errors and any inconvenience or misunderstanding they may have caused.
