In the legends of Table 2 (footnote c), Table 4 (footnote c), and Table 5 (footnote b), the term “Cronbach’s α” was wrongly mentioned. Instead, the indicated values refer to the effect size according to Cohen’s d. Also, in all three of these tables a large effect is indicated by a Cohen’s d > 0.80 rather than > 80.

In the legends of Table 2 and 4 (footnotes d and e in each case), the term “vs.” was mistakenly used instead of the correct “minus”.

In Table 4, the wrong superscript - indicating which statistical test was applied – was used in two places. Comparison of maternal and paternal mental health scores with normative data was tested by using one-sample t tests; the comparison of mothers’ and fathers’ mental health scores was tested by using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.

The correct versions of Tables 2, 4 and 5 are shown here.
