ERRATUM

In the paper by Kravitz et al in Vol. 31 No. 7 there were two errors on page 987.

In the second paragraph under Discussion, the 3rd sentence should read: Among HT non-users, self-reported sleep maintenance (waking up several times) and early morning awakening worsened significantly through late perimenopause, and the latter improved during postmenopause to a level no longer significantly different from premenopause.

In the same paragraph, the 8th line should read: Including HT users and after adjusting for relevant covariates, menopausal status and vasomotor symptoms each remained significantly and independently associated with difficulty sleeping (Table 3), despite large contributions from physical and psychological symptoms and nighttime urinary frequency.

We regret these errors.
