A Corrigendum on Ayahuasca-induced personal death experiences: prevalence, characteristics, and impact on attitudes toward death, life, and the environment by David J, Bouso JC, Kohek M, Ona G, Tadmor N, Arnon T, Dor-Ziderman Y and Berkovich-Ohana A (2023).

In the published article, there was an error regarding the average number of ayahuasca uses in the ayahuasca group in Study 1. A correction has been made to the Results, 2.2.1 Participants characteristics. This sentence previously stated:
“Briefly, on average, our study participants have used ayahuasca (mean = 69.4 ± 98.7), 6.4 times more than psilocybin (mean = 10.7 ± 15.4, U = 1378, p < 0.01, rp = 1), 5.7 times more than mescaline (mean = 12 ± 14.9, U = 351, p < 0.01, rp = 1), and 7.07 times more than LSD (mean = 9.9 ± 16.6, U = 976, p < 0.01, rp = 1).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“Briefly, on average, our study participants have used ayahuasca (55.7 ± 82.1), 5.2 times more than psilocybin (mean = 10.7 ± 15.4, U = 1378, p < 0.01, rp = 1), 4.6 times more than mescaline (mean = 12 ± 14.9, U = 351, p < 0.01, rp = 1), and 5.6 times more than LSD (mean = 9.9 ± 16.6, U = 976, p < 0.01, rp = 1).”
In the published article, there was an error in Figure 2 and Figure 3 as published. The authors inadvertently used SD (Standard Deviation) in the bar plots in the figures instead of SEM (Standard Error of the Mean). In the original captions we reported SEM. The corrected Figure 2 and Figure 3 and their captions appear below.
Death transcendence attitudes and environmental concern as a function of experiencing APDs. Bar plots comparing the distribution of (A) DTS scores (y-axis), and (B) NEP-R scores (y-axis), as a function of the yAPD group (in blue) and nAPD group (in orange). Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. DTS, Death Transcendence Scale, NEP-R, New Environmental Paradigm Revised. Statistics: p-values <=0.01 are denoted by **, and p-values <=0.05 are denoted by *.
Life engagement and coping strategies as a function of APD. Bar plots comparing the distribution of (A) COPE-p scores (y-axis), and (B) ELS-f scores (y-axis), as a function of the yAPD group (in blue) and nAPD group (in orange). Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Abbreviations: COPE-p, Problem-focused coping; ELS-f, Engaged Living Scale-life fulfillment. Statistics: p-values <=0.01 are denoted by **, and p-values <=0.05 are denoted by *.
