On page 2706, in the second to last line of text in column 1, the sentence should be "The interview group also showed a saving in comparison with the information group." Also on page 2706, in Table 3 , a number sign symbol should be added behind "NA" in column 5 for "Hormonal drug||" and "Nonhormonal drug||" under "Treatment." The text for the number (#) sign footnote should be "NA indicates no cost indicated because unit costs were obtained on a case-by-case basis."

The second line in column 1 under "Exclusions" should be "All inpatient and unrelated outpatient and family physician visit(s)."

Also on page 2708, the page numbers for reference 40 should be "5-14."
