In the article “Obsessions and Compulsions in the Community: Prevalence, Interference, Help-Seeking, Developmental Stability, and Co-Occurring Psychiatric Conditions” by Miguel A. Fullana, Ph.D., et al. (published online February 2, 2009), the odds ratio between harm/checking symptom dimension and alcohol dependence in Table 4 should be 2.29. Also, in the second paragraph of the Discussion, copyediting by the Journal editorial office altered the meaning of a sentence. It should have read as follows: “Confirming anecdotal reports and a handful of clinical studies (1, 2), more than one-third of people with anxiety disorders other than OCD or with depression (without comorbid OCD) endorsed obsessions and/or compulsions.” These changes have been made for the article’s appearance in the March 2009 print issue and for its online posting as part of that issue, replacing the article posted February 2, 2009.
