Correction: Facilitators of and Barriers to Global Digital Oral Health: Mixed Methods Study

In “Facilitators of and Barriers to Global Digital Oral Health: Mixed Methods Study” [1], the authors made the following changes to the Results section.

In the Characteristics of the Study Participants subsection, the following sentence was revised:

More than three-quarters of the respondents (80/83, 84.3%) used a computer to complete the survey.

The sentence now reads:

More than three-quarters of the respondents (70/83, 84.3%) used a computer to complete the survey.

In the Barriers subsection under Study Findings, the following sentences were revised:

Among those who did have funding, 36.6% (30/82) received it from the public sector, 19.5% (16/82) received it from the private sector, 18.3% (15/82) received it from donors, and 18.3% (15/82) received it from public-private partnerships.Only 10.9% (9/82) of the participants reported all 4 types of funding.

The sentences now read:

Among all participants, 36.6% (30/82) reported having received funding from the public sector, 19.5% (16/82) from the private sector, 18.3% (15/82) from donors, and 18.3% (15/82) from public-private partnerships. As respondents could report more than one source of funding, these categories were not mutually exclusive. Furthermore, 10.9% (9/82) of the participants reported receiving all 4 types of funding.

In the same subsection, the following sentences were revised:

Public funding was the most commonly reported funding type among participants from countries in the European Region (9/30, 30%). Approximately 68.7% (11/16) of the higher-income countries had adequate financial resources through private organizations or public-private partnerships (8/15, 53.3%):

The sentences now read:

Among the participants who reported receiving public sector funding (n=30), 9 (30%) were from the European Region, representing the highest percentage among other regions. Among the participants who reported receiving financial support through private organizations (n=16) or public-private partnerships (n=15), 11 (68.7%) and 8 (53.3%) were from high-income countries, respectively.

The correction will appear in the online version of the paper on the JMIR Publications website together with the publication of this correction notice.
