Abstract
On p. 278 of this article, there are errors in mean scores, standard deviations, t-test results, and specificity-sensitivity analyses for the abbreviated Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ-A) in older primary care patients with generalized anxiety disorder (PC-GAD) and those without any diagnosis (No DX). The corrected text, beginning on p. 277, is as follows: A t-test indicated that scores on the abbreviated PSWQ (PSWQ-A) differed significantly between the PC-GAD and No Dx groups, PC-GAD=29.6, SD=6.21; No Dx=18.0, SD= 5.31; t(30)=5.12, p<.001; η=.47. A distribution of scores for this measure is included in Table III. These data suggest that a score of 23 may provide a useful cutoff for identifying GAD. Associated specificity was 80.0%, sensitivity 81.8%, PPV 90.8%, and NPV 66.7%. Wewould also like to note that the range of scores on the full PSWQ is 16 to 80 rather than 0 to 80 as stated on p. 275.
