The authors regret that a value was incorrectly reported in the descriptive results on page 5 of the article. This affected the description of the most frequently reported barrier to accessing mental health care and the related discussion. The main conclusions and analyses are not affected, as the barriers were reported descriptively and not included in the authors’ regression models.
Page 5, paragraphs 2 and 3 original text: “…the most frequently cited barrier was the belief that providers would not understand their sexual orientation or gender identity (73.1%). Nearly half (45.7%) said they could not afford care, and over one-third reported fear of talking about mental health concerns with someone else (38.0%) or worry about not being taken seriously (34.3%). Stigma-related fears were also common: 31.0% were not out about their LGBTQ+ identity and feared being outed, 28.6% were distrustful that treatment would work, and 28.2% feared providers would attempt to repress their LGBTQ+ identity.”
