In: Subramanian SV, Chen JT, Rehkopf DH, Waterman PD, Krieger N. Racial disparities in context: a multilevel analysis of neighborhood variations in poverty and excess mortality among Black populations in Massachusetts. Am J Public Health. 2005;95:260265. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2003.034132.
Two tables were formatted in a potentially misleading manner. The stub heads for 2 sections of TABLE 2Odds Ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals for Fixed Parameters From Models 1, 2, and 3 Analyzing Neighborhood Heterogeneity in Associations Between Mortality, Race/Ethnicity, and Area Poverty: Massachusetts, 19891991 (p263) should have been formatted as follows (presenting only the heads, as the data do not change):
| Individual-level predictors |
| Interaction effect |
| Male x 1524 y |
| Black x 1524 y |
| Other x 1524 y |
| Male x 2544 y |
| Black x 2544 y |
| Other x 2544 y |
| Male x 4564 y |
| Black x 4564 y |
| Other x 4564 y |
Male x 65 y |
Black x 65 y |
Other x 65 y |
| Male x Black |
| Male x Other |
| Cross-level interaction effect (individual race and CT poverty) |
| Black x 5%9.9% poverty |
| Black x 10%19.9% poverty |
| Black x 20%100% poverty |
| Other x 5%9.9% poverty |
| Other x 10%19.9% poverty |
| Other x 20%100% poverty |
|
Note that the reference row for White x 0%4.9% poverty should have been deleted.

ock Group (BG) Levels From Models 1, 2, and 3 Analyzing Neighborhood Heterogeneity in Associations Between Mortality, Race/Ethnicity, and Area Poverty: Massachusetts, 19891991 (p264) should have been formatted as follows:
