Abstract

The author regrets errors in the description and coding of the outcome variable in the original manuscript. It should be noted that the findings and conclusions of the analysis have not changed following corrections. Details are as follows. The original manuscript stated that the outcome variable was constructed by adding parent's responses to ten emotional symptom items and logging the composite score. This description is incorrect, and lacks the necessary details on variable construction. The following Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and A2, titled Tracking Corrections, provides the corrected text for Section 3.2 along with a comparison to the original text. The changes are highlighted in bold. In addition to that correction, coding errors in the construction of the outcome variable were resolved so that the composite score was appropriately transformed. Analysis was redone using the corrected outcome variable. Importantly, the takeaways and conclusions of the paper do not change following corrections. All coefficients that were significant in the original analysis remain significant following corrections. Parameter estimates change slightly in magnitude; however, they are all in the same direction as before. The corrected tables are provided (Table 1; Table 2; Table 3; Table 4; Table 5; Table A2), with changes to the original highlighted in bold. Corrections to the original text in the Results section and Supplementary Information file are shown in the Tracking Corrections table. The author sincerely apologizes for the errors in the original manuscript.
