Erratum: Vol. 57, No. 53
In the report, "Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Birth Prevalence of Spina Bifida --- United States, 1995--2005," an
error occurred in the second sentence of the Editorial Note. The sentence should have read: "The previous study revealed that
from October 1995--December 1996 (before the folic acid fortification mandate) to October 1998--December 1999 (after
the January 1998 mandate deadline), the prevalence of spina bifida decreased from 2.62 to 2.02 per 10,000 live births, a
decrease of 22.9% (3)."
