In the article “Chronic pain management in primary care. Using population-based data to examine family physician practice patterns,”1 which appeared in the September 2024 issue of Canadian Family Physician, a footnote was inadvertently omitted from the last paragraph on page 572. The footnote should have read as follows:
†The Medical Services Plan registration form contains a variable labelled “gender” with the options “M” and “F” provided (presumed to be abbreviations of “male” and “female”). Whether responses reflect gender, sex assigned at birth, or legal sex cannot be determined. We refer to this variable as “administrative sex.”
The online version of this article has been corrected.
