In the December issue of JECH there were some errors in the published paper by Cohen et al (Cohen J, Bilsen J, Fischer S, et al. End-of-life decision-making in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland: does place of death make a difference? J Epidemiol Community Health 2007;61:1062–8). A corrected version of the manuscript has been posted online as a data supplement to the online article. This can be found at: http://jech.bmj.com/cgi/data/6l/l2/1062/DC1/1.
