DOI: 10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.122.008999), corrections are needed.On page 954 the sentence “In 2014, an optional sexual orientation and sex identity module was introduced to the BRFSS” should read “In 2014, an optional sexual orientation and gender identity module was introduced to the BRFSS.”On page 954 the sentence “Given that this analysis focused on sexual identity differences in the prevalence of hypertension and antihypertensive medication use among cisgender (ie, individuals whose sex identity aligns with their sex assigned at birth) adults, we next excluded participants with missing data for the sex identity item (n=1635) as well as those who self-identified as gender minorities (ie, transgender or gender non-binary nonbinary; n=1636)” should read “Given that this analysis focused on sexual identity differences in the prevalence of hypertension and antihypertensive medication use among cisgender (ie, individuals whose gender identity aligns with their sex assigned at birth) adults, we next excluded participants with missing data for the gender identity item (n=1635) as well as those who self-identified as gender minorities (ie, transgender or gender nonbinary; n=1636).”.On page 961 the sentence “Findings are not nationally representative as the optional sexual orientation and sex identity module in the BRFSS was only used by 22 states in 2015, 27 states in 2017, and 31 states in 2019” should read “Findings are not nationally representative as the optional sexual orientation and gender identity module in the BRFSS was only used by 22 states in 2015, 27 states in 2017, and 31 states in 2019.”On page 961 the sentence “Thus, findings may not be generalizable to sexual minority adults living in states that did not include the BRFSS optional sexual orientation and sex identity module during these years” should read “Thus, findings may not be generalizable to sexual minority adults living in states that did not include the BRFSS optional sexual orientation and gender identity module during these years.”The publisher regrets these errors.This correction has been made to the current version of the article, which is available at https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.122.008999.
