Witvliet MI, Kunst AE, Stronks K, Arah OA. Assessing where vulnerable groups fare worst: a global multilevel analysis on the impact of welfare regimes on disability across different socioeconomic groups. J Epidemiology and Community Health 2012;66:775–81.

In the results section there was an error in our age-standardized percentage rates of self-reported personal disability in table 2 and 3.
