Correction to: Are pro-infammatory markers associated with psychological distress in a cross-sectional study of healthy adolescents 15–17 years of age? The Fit Futures study

Correction to: BMC Psychology (2022) 10:65 10.1186/s40359-022-00779-8

Following publication of the original article [1], the authors flagged that the article had published with errors in Tables 1 and 2: IL6-α TGF-α TRANCE TWEAK had been given the unit pg/L rather than the (correct) unit NPX.
