On p. 278 of this article, there are errors in mean scores, standard deviations, t-test results, and specificity-sensitivity analyses for the abbreviated Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ-A) in older primary care patients with generalized anxiety disorder (PC-GAD) and those without any diagnosis (No DX). The corrected text, beginning on p. 277, is as follows:
A t-test indicated that scores on the abbreviated PSWQ (PSWQ-A) differed significantly between the PC-GAD and No Dx groups, PC-GAD = 29.6, SD = 6.21; No Dx = 18.0, SD = 5.31; t(30) = 5.12, p < .001; η 2 = .47. A distribution of scores for this measure is included in Table III. These data suggest that a score of 23 may provide a useful cutoff for identifying GAD. Associated specificity was 80.0%, sensitivity 81.8%, PPV 90.8%, and NPV 66.7%.
We would also like to note that the range of scores on the full PSWQ is 16 to 80 rather than 0 to 80 as stated on p. 275.
