During preparation for another study, coding errors were discovered. These errors involved mistakenly coding some female participants as male. Further investigation showed that this coding error also affected some of the data used in this study. Although quite a number of women were coded as male (n = 12), this did not change the outcomes of the study, but it did change the significance of some of the results. Therefore, we would like to correct the content of this article. All corrections involve (only) the Results section:
Correction 1.
3.1. Patient flow and sample characteristics. The baseline sample consisted of 45 patients. Of this group, 60% (n = 27) were female with an average age of 41.10 years (SD = 12.74).
Now reads:
