Correction to Lancet Glob Health 2015; 3: e458–69 Singla DR, Kumbakumba E, Aboud FE. Effects of a parenting intervention to address both maternal psychological wellbeing and child development and growth in rural Uganda: a community-based, cluster randomised trial. Lancet Glob Health 2015; 3: e458–69—In this Article, the title should have been “Effects of a parenting intervention to address maternal psychological wellbeing and child development and growth in rural Uganda: a communitybased, cluster-randomised trial”. The primary outcomes were cognitive and receptive language development only, and secondary outcomes were maternal depressive symptoms and child growth. The sixth and seventh sentences of the Methods section in the Summary should have read “The primary outcomes were cognitive and receptive language development, as measured with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 3rd edn. Secondary outcomes included self-reported maternal depressive symptoms, using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and child growth.” The last three sentences of the Findings section should have read “At endline, children in the intervention group had significantly higher cognitive scores (58·90 vs 55·65, effect size 0·36, 95% CI 0·12–0·59) and receptive language scores (23·86 vs 22·40, 0·27, 0·03–0·50) than did children in the control group. Mothers in the intervention group reported significantly fewer depressive symptoms (15·36 vs 18·61, –0·391, –0·62 to –0·16) than did mothers in the control group. However, no differences were found in child growth between groups.” In the Outcomes section, the first sentence of the second paragraph should read “Our secondary outcomes were www.thelancet.com/lancetgh Vol 4 January 2016
maternal depressive symptoms, as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and child growth.” In table 2, the effects of intervention should have been listed as primary outcomes and secondary outcomes. These corrections have been made to the online version as of July 16, 2015.
