JAMA. 2003;289:987.

Incorrect Wording. In The Patient-Physician Relationship article entitled "Health-Related Quality of Life Assessments and Patient-Physician Communication: A Randomized Controlled Trial" published in the December 18, 2002, issue of THE JOURNAL (2002;288:3027-3034), there was incorrect wording and data in a table. The title of Table 2 that read "Patients' Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) at Fourth-Visit Consultations" should read "Fourth-Visit Consultations Discussing Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL)." Also in Table 2 in the "Physical" type of functioning row under the "Intervention" column that read "76 (73)" should have read "29 (28)" and the "Role" type of function row under the "Intervention" column that read "28 (27)" should have read "68 (66)." The differences between the control and intervention groups for those domains remain statistically nonsignificant.
