Howard, N., & Marcum, J. (2020). Comparison of BRFSS data between home-based care provider and health care support workers in clinical environments in Washington State. Workplace Health & Safety, 60, 92-102. doi: 10.1177/2165079919857448

In the above article, there is an error in Table 2 (see Table below). The data for “Body mass index (BMI)” are incorrect. These data are a copy of the rows.

Incorrect Data (highlighted in grey) in Table 2. Self-Reported Health and Well-Being Measures of Home-Based and Non-Home Based Health Care Providers - WA BRFSS. Washington, 2011-2016

General health
General health Excellent	14.3 ( 9.0, 19.5)	19.7 (13.5, 25.8)	21.4 (20.8, 22.0)
Very good	33.6 (26.7, 40.4)	38.9 (30.6, 47.2)	37.9 (37.2, 38.6)

Body Mass Index, BMI	33.6 (26.7, 40.4)	38.9 (30.6, 47.2)	37.9 (37.2, 38.6)
Underweight	37.8 (31.0, 44.6)	31.3 (22.8, 39.8)	30.9 (30.2, 31.6)

Obese	5.0 ( 3.9, 6.2)	4.3 ( 3.0, 5.6)	3.2 ( 3.1, 3.3)

The correct data should read as:

	Home-Based Health Care Workers,n=385	Health Care Support Occupations, Not Home-Based,n=229	All Other Occupations,n=32,011
	% or mean (95% CI)Ӿ	% or mean (95% CI)Ӿ	% or mean (95% CI)Ӿ
Body Mass Index, BMI Underweight	2.2 ( 0.0, 4.5)	0.9 ( 0.0, 2.3)	1.5 ( 1.3, 1.7)
Normal	30.1 (22.9, 37.4)	40.7 (31.6, 49.9)	35.8 (35.1, 36.6)
Overweight	31.9 (25.1, 38.7)	35.2 (26.7, 43.6)	36.5 (35.7, 37.2)
Obese	35.8 (28.9, 42.7)	23.2 (16.4, 30.0)	26.2 (25.5, 26.9)

Likewise, a statement in the abstract describes the incorrect data.

Currently reads as:

More HB providers were overweight (4.2%, 95%CI: 3.3-5.2%) than non-HB providers and all other occupations.

Correction:

More HB providers were obese (35.8%, 95%CI: 28.9-42.7%) than all other occupations
