A Corrigendum on
Long-Term Impact of Single Epilepsy Training on Knowledge, Attitude and Practices: Comparison of Trained and Untrained Rwandan Community Health Workers

by Dedeken P, Muhumuza SN, Sebera F, Umwiringirwa J, Bitunguhari L, Tierens H, Teuwen DE and Boon PAJ (2021). Int J Public Health. 66:645598. doi: 10.3389/ijph.2021.645598

There were three mistakes in “Table 4. Attitudes, knowledge and practices towards epilepsy. Survey on epilepsy Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in Community Health Workers, Rwanda, 2018.” as published. Under the question “A child living with epilepsy should never attend school?”, it read “True (D)/False (UD)/Sometimes true (UD)/Not familiar (UD)”, with (D) = desired, (UD) = undesired. This has been corrected to “True (UD)/False (D)/Sometimes true (UD)/Not familiar (UD).”

Under the question “What is the cause of epilepsy” row “Genetic trait(D)” column “82 respondents” it read “21(13,0.5)”, this has been corrected to “21 (13.5)”.

Under the question “May your daughter marry a man living with epilepsy?” row “No (UD)” column “N=96” it read “12 (12,0.5)”, this has been corrected to “12 (12.5)”. The corrected “Table 4. Attitudes, knowledge and practices towards epilepsy. Survey on epilepsy Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in Community Health Workers, Rwanda, 2018.” appears below.

The authors apologize for this error and state that it does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The first published incorrect version of the article has been updated.
