Correction to Sanmartin et al.

After the brief report “Mental Health Treatment and Unmet Mental Health Care Need Among Pregnant Women With Major Depressive Episode in the United States,” by Maria X. Sanmartin, Ph.D., Mir M. Ali, Ph.D., Jie Chen, Ph.D., and Debra S. Dwyer, Ph.D., was published online April 10 and appeared in the June 2019 issue of Psychiatric Services (70:503-506), the authors learned of previous research on unmet mental health need among pregnant and nonpregnant women.

The fundamental findings and conclusions of the Sanmartin et al. study, which used 2011-2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health data, are unchanged. However, the last sentence of the second paragraph of the introduction is incorrect, where it indicates no previous examination of “the extent to which women during pregnancy perceive an unmet need and the reasons for their unmet need.” Ko and colleagues examined this issue in 2012 using 2005-2009 data from the same survey (Ko JY, Farr SL, Dietz PM, et al: Depression and Treatment Among U.S. Pregnant and Nonpregnant Women of Reproductive Age, 2005-2009. Journal of Women’s Health 2012; 21:830-836).
