Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© The Author(s) 2025.Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that an error had been made in the labels within Table 1 and that this would significantly affect the readers’ understanding of the methods. They request a correction to Table 1 regarding when they measured the children’s ages at the different stages of the study. Row 3 of Table 1 reads in the original as “Age at PLS-5 assessment” - it should be corrected to ‘Age at ELIM Assessment’. Row 3 of Table 1 reads in the original as “Age at ELIM Assessment” - it should be corrected to ‘Age at Recruitment’. To further clarify this they also request the addition of the following text – indicated in italics – to the method (This is in paragraph 3 of the methods on page 3) Informed consent was obtained from all the study participants and their legal guardian/parents by the HV conducting the Study ELIM at the review, however the Study ELIM and Preschool Language Scale (PLS-5) were completed during separate meetings within 2 weeks of one another. Where consent was given the HV allocated the child a unique ID code to ensure anonymity and administered the Study ELIM.
