BMC Medicine volume 15, Article number: 61 (2017) Cite this article

The Original Article was published on 05 January 2017

Erratum

After the publication of the original article [1], it came to the author’s attention that one of the study’s funding sources was omitted. A Canadian Institutes of Health Research Catalyst Grant (Grant # 342169) should have been acknowledged, so the Funding section of the article should have read as follows:

Funding

This study was funded by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH), as well as a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Catalyst Grant (Grant # 342169). AAV is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. SES is funded by a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Knowledge Translation. ACT is funded by a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Knowledge Synthesis.
