In the report "Syringe Exchange Programs -- United States,
1994-1995," the
following limitation should have been included in the second full
paragraph
on page 691: "Because of incomplete reporting, the total number of
syringes
exchanged in 1992 is underestimated." In the next paragraph, the
reference
cited for the Tacoma hepatitis study is incorrect. The correct
reference is
"Hagan H, Des Jarlais DC, Friedman SR, et al. Reduced risk of
hepatitis B and
hepatitis C among injecting drug users participating in the Tacoma
syringe
exchange program. Am J Public Health (in press)." All subsequent
references
in the paragraph should be renumbered accordingly (i.e., references
7, 6, and
8 should become 7, 8, and 9).
