In the original published version of this article, the discussion contains the following sentences: “Finally, we found that acceptability of OS was 62 %, showing promise for OS to reduce ovarian cancer incidence in the general surgical population.” and “For instance, those that had a personal history of prior gynecologic surgery or personal history of cancer were associated with higher acceptability of OS, whereas those who planned to have children in the future were associated with lower acceptability.” The abstract contains the following sentence: "Personal history of cancer was positively associated with acceptability of OS."

These sentences in the discussion have been replaced by: “Finally, we found that acceptability of OS was 63%, showing promise for OS to reduce ovarian cancer incidence in the general surgical population.” and “For instance, those that had a personal history of prior gynecologic surgery or had a family or friend with a history of cancer were associated with higher acceptability of OS.” The sentence in the abstract has been replaced by: "Having a family or friend with a history of cancer was positively associated with acceptability of OS."

The authors apologize for the errors.
