In the August 1978 issue there was an error in "The Prevalence of Schizophrenia: A Reassessment Using Modern Diagnostic Criteria" by Michael Alan Taylor, M.D., and Richard Abrams, M.D. The reference to the study by Weissman and associates (cited as reference 14) in the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Inpatient and Outpatient Studies section (p. 946) should appear in the Population Studies section. The last sentence of Inpatient and Outpatient Studies should therefore refer to 8 different admission prevalence figures (range of 0.6%–6.7% is unchanged).The staff regrets this error.
