by Martinsen, K., Lisøy, C., Wentzel-Larsen, T., Neumer, S.-P., Rasmussen, L.-M. P., Adolfsen, F., Sund, A. M., and Ingul, J. M. (2024). Front. Psychol. 14:1290358. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1290358
In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. The mistake identified was a miscode involving one of the items on the Kidscreen – 27 that was inadvertently reversed twice in the original dataset used for the paper mentioned above. This has led to an inconsistency in the published results for the rows involving Kidscreen-27 total. The corrected Table 1 and its caption appear below.
Table 1
Table 1. Means and standard deviation (SD) across the five recruitment waves.
In the published article, there was an error in Table 5 as published. The mistake identified was a miscode involving one of the items on the Kidscreen – 27 that was inadvertently reversed twice in the original dataset used for the paper mentioned above. This has led to an inconsistency in the published estimated contrasts for levels of quality of life reported in Table 5. The corrected Table 5 and its caption appear below.

In the published article, there was an error in Table 6 as published. The mistake identified was a miscode involving one of the items on the Kidscreen – 27 that was inadvertently reversed twice in the original dataset used for the paper mentioned above. This has led to an inconsistency in the published MASC anxiety subscales reported in Table 6. The corrected Table 6 and its caption appear below.

In the published article, there was an error in Table 7 as published. The mistake identified was a miscode involving one of the items on the Kidscreen – 27 that was inadvertently reversed twice in the original dataset used for the paper mentioned above. This has led to an inconsistency in the published attitudes toward homeschooling and loneliness reported in Table 7. The corrected Table 7 and its caption appear below.

In the published article, there was an error. The mistake identified was a miscode involving one of the items on the Kidscreen – 27 that was inadvertently reversed twice in the original dataset used for the paper mentioned above. This has led to an inconsistency in the published text, see below.
A correction has been made to Measures, third paragraph, last sentence. This sentence previously stated:
The Cronbach's alpha for the scale was 0.88 in the present sample. The corrected sentence appears below:
The Cronbach's alpha for the scale was 0.93 in the present sample.
A correction has been made to Results, first paragraph, last sentence. This sentence previously stated:
Mean scores on primary outcome measures of anxiety (MASC), depression (SMFQ), quality of life (Kidscreen-27), and COVID response are shown in Table 1.
The corrected sentence appears below:
Mean scores on primary outcome measures of anxiety (MASC), depression (SMFQ), quality of life (Kidscreen-27 total raw score), and COVID response are shown in Table 1.
A correction has been made to Results section, Quality of life and general levels of anxiety and depression, and specific anxieties, first paragraph. This sentence previously stated:
For depression, the coefficient was −1.58, 95% CI (−1.69, −1.47). For anxiety we saw a smaller change, with a coefficient of 0.09, 95% CI (−0.13, −0.06). Cohens partial f2 indicated a small effect size of 0.015 for anxiety, and for depression the effect size was 0.43 which is considered large (>0.35).
The corrected sentence appears below:
For depression, the coefficient was −1.69, 95% CI (−1.81, −1.57). For anxiety we saw a smaller change, with a coefficient of −0.11, 95% CI (−0.15, −0.07). Cohens partial f2 indicated a small effect size of 0.02 for anxiety, and for depression the effect size was 0.42 which is considered large (>0.35).
A correction has been made to Results, Quality of life and COVID response, homeschooling and loneliness, first paragraph. This sentence previously stated:
We found a significant relation, where quality of life decreased when COVID response increased, coefficient = −3.78, 95% CI (−5.05, −2.501), p < 0.001).
The corrected sentence appears below:
We found a significant relation, where quality of life decreased when COVID response increased, coefficient = −3.90, 95% CI (−5.26, −2.54), p < 0.001).
A correction has been made to Results, Quality of life and COVID response, homeschooling and loneliness, second paragraph. This sentence previously stated:
The results indicated that attitudes to homeschooling were associated with quality of life (p = 0.034).
The corrected sentence appears below:
The results indicated that attitudes to homeschooling were associated with quality of life (p = 0.025).
The authors apologize for these errors and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
