Correction to: International Journal of Public Health (2020) 65:497–506 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00038-020-01364-9
The authors would like to correct an error in the publication of the original article. The error is described below and correct details provided. What is presented in the lines 23, 29, 38 , and in table 4 is the corrected version.
Error
On page 503, Table 4, the labels on pubertal maturation variables were swapped. This resulted in an erroneous interpretation of the finding on page 502 and discussion of the finding on 503 and 504 (Table 4).
Correction
Results: Associations between sexual experiences and gender norms
Page 502: Second paragraph, first sentence
Boys who had experienced any pubertal changes, those below the recommended grade for age and those who had missed school at any time during the 6 months preceding the survey were more likely to report sexual activity.
Discussion
Page 503, last paragraph extending to page 504
First sentence: Our study also found that boys who reported pubertal changes were more likely to have had a sexual experience compared to those who reported no pubertal changes suggesting that pubertal changes are associated with initiation of sexual activity. Sexual development is a major component of pubertal maturation (Fortenberry 2013; Kar et al. 2015).
Page 504, first paragraph (same paragraph as above), last sentence
Our findings underscore the need for programs to target young boys as they get into puberty especially those that live in contexts that expose them to sexual risks at an early age.
