EDITED BY MATTHEW HOTOPF

Dr Meadows and colleagues have drawn our attention to a wrong and misleading sentence in the Method section of Andrews et al (2001a). We conclude the sub-section on assessment (p. 146) by saying "Perceived health need was based on the UK Survey of Psychiatric Morbidity questions". This sentence should read: "Perceived health need was based on work by Meadows et al (2000a). Similar concepts were used by the UK Survey of Psychiatric Morbidity questions".

We apologise for this omission and draw readers' attention to Meadows et al (2000b) for a more complete discussion of the development of the Perceived Need for Care Questionnaire. This is a reference we have used in subsequent papers (e.g. Andrews et al, 2001b).
