The conflict of interest statement was erroneously given as “The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.”

The correct conflict of interest statement is “AR and TA declare that they are full-time employees of the AB InBev Foundation. AH was an independent consultant affiliated with AB InBev Foundation. The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.”
