Erratum

In the May/June 2002 issue, in the editorial "Health Literacy in the Information Age: Communicating Cancer Information to Patients and Families" (Merriman B, Ades T, Seffrin JR. CA Cancer J Clin 2002;52:130-133), an error appeared on page 131.

Under the heading "The SMOG Readability Formula," the instructions "for text consisting of fewer than 30 sentences" should have read:

"1. Count the number of polysyllabic words. 2. Calculate the average number of polysyllabic words per sentence. 3. Multiply that average number by the number of sentences short of 30."

We apologize for this error and any confusion it may have caused.
