In the Surveillance Summary “Health-Related Behaviors by Urban-Rural County Classification — United States, 2013,” errors occurred in Table 1 and Table 2. On page 5, in Table 1, under the Micropolitan column, the 95% CI values should have been (75.7–77.3) for the current nonsmoking row and (29.8–31.4) for the maintaining normal body weight row; under the Noncore column, the 95% CI values should have been (74.0–75.9) for the current nonsmoking row, (28.0–29.8) for the maintaining body weight row, and (45.7–47.7) for the meeting aerobic physical activity recommendations row. On page 6, in Table 2, errors occurred in footnotes and the table is reprinted below.

* The five health-related behaviors are sufficient sleep, current nonsmoking, nondrinking or moderate drinking, maintaining normal body weight, and meeting aerobic leisure time physical activity recommendations.

As defined in the National Center for Health Statistics 2013 Urban-Rural Classification Scheme for Counties.

§ Age adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population aged ≥18 years with the direct method, except for age groups.

t-test p<0.05 for significant difference between rural respondents and respondents in any other urban-rural classification group.

** Unreliable estimate if relative standard error ≥30% or n <50.
