Correction to Effectiveness of functional family therapy in a non-Western context: Findings from a randomized-controlled evaluation of youth offenders in Singapore

Abstract

Gan, D. Z. Q., Zhou, Y., Abdul Wahab, N. D. B., Ruby, K. and Hoo, E. (2021). Effectiveness of functional family therapy in a non-Western context: Findings from a randomized-controlled evaluation of youth offenders in Singapore. Family Process, 60: 1170–1184. https://doi.org/10.1111/famp.12630

In the article, there was an error in the description of the treatment groups in the abstract and in main body of the article.

The third sentence of the abstract (page 1170) should appear as follows: “120 youth probationers (Mage = 16.2, SD  = 1.33) were randomly assigned to receive either Treatment-As-Usual (TAU; n = 57) or FFT (n = 63).”

In the “Procedure and Design” section (page 1173), the second sentence of the third paragraph should read as follows: “Participants were then randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups—”Treatment-As-Usual “only (TAU), and FFT—using an online random generator.” The fifth sentence of the same paragraph should read as follows: “In comparison, those in the TAU group received standard probation services and attended programs addressing offense- or family-related needs, as prescribed by their probation officers.”
