Re: Correction

m_bates{at}uclink.berkeley.edu Michael N Bates, et al.

We have found a small error in the Methods section of our paper, “Exposure of hospitality workers to environmental tobacco smoke”, recently published in Tobacco Control (2002; 11:125-9). The reference in the third paragraph, under the chemical analysis subheading should have referred to a 1/X2 (X-squared) weighting, not a 1/÷2 (chi-squared) weighting, as published. X was the concentration of cotinine in saliva samples. Our apologies for any confusion this has caused.
