“The relationship between cumulative unfair treatment and intima media thickness and adventitial diameter: The moderating role of race in the study of women’s health across the nation”: Correction to Peterson et al. (2016).

Reports errors in "The relationship between cumulative unfair treatment and intima media thickness and adventitial diameter: The moderating role of race in the study of women’s health across the nation" by Laurel M. Peterson, Karen A. Matthews, Carol A. Derby, Joyce T. Bromberger and Rebecca C. Thurston (Health Psychology, 2016[Apr], Vol 35[4], 313-321). First, the Method section included intima media thickness in the list of log transformed variables (p. 316); however, untransformed intima media thickness was normally distributed and results throughout the manuscript are based on untransformed intima media thickness as the criterion variable. Second, in the fourth paragraph of the Results section (p. 317), there are minor corrections to the sensitivity analyses investigating the relationship of high chronicity unfair treatment and adventitial diameter. A full description is provided in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2016-14744-002.) Objective: Unfair treatment may have a detrimental effect on cardiovascular health. However, little research on chronic health outcomes uses cumulative measures of unfair treatment. We tested whether cumulative unfair treatment was associated with greater subclinical cardiovascular disease in a diverse sample of African-American, Caucasian, Chinese, and Hispanic women. We also examined whether this relationship varied by race. Method: The Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation is a longitudi...
