doi:10.1001/jamaoncol.2023.3792

In the Research Letter, 鈥淓valuating Eligibility of US Black Women Under USPSTF Lung Cancer Screening Guidelines,鈥�¹ published online on November 24, 2021, and in the January 2022 issue of JAMA Oncology, there were coding errors that once corrected result in corrections to the estimated number of years since quitting in women who had already quit smoking before entry into the study and the number of former smokers who would have been eligible for low-dose computed tomography screening according to the 2013 or 2021 US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines. The corrections affect the numbers in the text and tables. The authors have provided an explanation in a Letter to the Editor,² and the Research Letter has been corrected online.
