Erratum

"Psychological Distress and Breast Cancer Screening Among Women at High Risk: Where Are We?"—correspondence from Michael E. Stefanek [J Natl Cancer Inst 84:1756–1757 (Issue 22)].We inadvertently omitted several lines of text from this letter. The first paragraph should read, in part, "Major findings by Kash et al. (1) included significant psychological distress among women at high risk, including an "immobilizing" anxiety that prevents women from taking preventive actions. Vogel and Bondy (2) noted, and Kash (3) concurred, that the sample of women may have biased the findings; i.e., women at high risk attending special clinics may be different from women at high risk not attending such clinics. In a recent investigation (4) assessing compliance with screening in a sample of women at high risk not attending special clinics, we found poor BSE compliance, while clinical breast examination adherence was quite high (84%), although mammography adherence in the preceding year (54%) was poor." The Journal regrets the error.
