The Original Investigation, “Sustained Care Smoking Cessation Intervention for Individuals Hospitalized for Psychiatric Disorders: The Helping HAND 3 Randomized Clinical Trial,”1 published in the August 2021 issue, contained errors in Table 1. Multiple results in this table were reported incorrectly. First, because of a rounding error, the mean number of past attempts at quitting for longer than 24 hours was reported as 3.9 for the usual care group but should have been 4.0. Second, mean (SD) depressive symptoms per the PROMIS-D8a were reported as 18.9 (8.1) for the sustained care group and 19.0 (7.9) for the usual care group but should have been 26.9 (8.2) and 27.1 (7.8), respectively. Third, mean (SD) anxiety symptoms per the PROMIS-A8a were reported as 19.4 (7.7) for the sustained care group and 20.0 (6.8) for the usual care group but should have been 27.4 (7.7) and 28.1 (6.8), respectively. Fourth, mean (SD) psychotic symptoms per BASIS-24a were reported as 3.7 (4.2) for the sustained care group and 3.6 (3.8) for the usual care group but should have been reported as 0.9 (1.0) and 0.9 (0.9), respectively. Fifth, mean (SD) emotional lability per BASIS-24a was reported as 6.4 (2.7) for the sustained care group and 6.7 (2.6) for the usual care group but should have been 2.1 (0.9) and 2.3 (0.9), respectively. Sixth, an edit was made to label these values and others in Table 1 as means (SDs). Finally, the median IQR for the length of hospital stay for the sustained care group was reported as 4 to 8 days but should have been 4 to 7 days. The errors have been corrected online. This article was also corrected on June 9, 2021, for errors in statistical results.2
