The article “The Lines That Held Us: Assessing Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities in SARS-CoV-2 Testing” (doi: 10.1093/jalm/jfab059), published in The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine on July 8, 2021, contains errors.
The short running title should be: Racial Disparities in SARS-CoV-2 Testing
The first word of the Discussion section should be: Health
The first two sentences of the second paragraph of the Discussion should read: Our study showed that SARS-CoV-2 positivity was disproportionately higher in non-White patients, underscoring a growing body of evidence that non-White race was a risk factor for contraction of SARS-CoV-2 (8, 19). Our study corroborated this inequality across representative regions of the US, strengthening the evidence that racial disparity in SARS-CoV-2 positivity is a national crisis. Black race was associated with increased odds of a positive test regardless of geographical location.
