The publisher would like to apologise for an error in the originally published paper. The following two sentences were omitted from the end of the Discussion along with reference 31.

‘In undertaking this study, however, our team observed that eco-bio-social studies in their concentration on proximal factors have tended to have only marginally considered how more profound processes of social determination affect health.31 As a result, a more sophisticated analysis of this dimension was initiated and will be discussed in future publications that consider the effects on sustainability of broader contextual issues beyond the empowerment that was observed in the IIS trial that is discussed in this paper.’

The publisher apologises for any inconvenience caused.
