Correction to ‘Health, behavior, and social outcomes among offspring of parents with criminal convictions: a register-based study from Sweden’

Järvinen, A., Lichtenstein, P., D'Onofrio, B.M., Fazel, S., Kuja-Halkola, R. and Latvala, A. (2024). Health, behavior, and social outcomes among offspring of parents with criminal convictions: a register-based study from Sweden.

There was an error in deriving the sample used in the children-of-siblings analyses. Due to this error, the sample sizes in these analyses have been smaller than they should have been, resulting in less accurate results.

The text published as:

The children-of-siblings analyses, presented in Table 3, found that the associations between paternal and maternal convictions and offspring key outcomes generally attenuated toward models that accounted for more genetic factors. For example, the association between paternal convictions and offspring substance use disorder was strongest in the full population model [(HR, 1.94 (95% CI, 1.88–2.00)], reduced in the children of half-siblings model [HR, 1.47 (95% CI, 1.17–1.84)] and was weakest in the children of full-siblings model [HR, 1.27 (95% CI, 1.01–1.60)].

Should have been:

The children-of-siblings analyses, presented in Table 3, found that the associations between paternal and maternal convictions and offspring key outcomes generally attenuated toward models that accounted for more genetic factors. For example, the association between paternal convictions and offspring substance use disorder was strongest in the full population model [HR, 1.94 (95% CI, 1.88–2.00)], reduced in the children of half-siblings model [HR, 1.66 (95% CI, 1.46–1.89)] and was weakest in the children of full-siblings model [HR, 1.38 (95% CI, 1.26–1.51)].

Table 3 should have been (corrected values are in bold):

The errors have no impact on the interpretation of the results.

We apologize for the errors.
