Correction to: Journal of International Migration and Integration

The sections “Study design”, “Participants” and “Discussion” contained sentences with blinded information from the blinded peer review process.

The correct sentence in the “Study Design” section is:

“The initial cohort study was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Lübeck (15-144) and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (2015-49). The study was registered in the German Clinical Trials Register (DRKS00011554).”

The correct sentence in the “Participants” section is:

“In the initial cohort study, a random sample of 45,000 people was drawn from two pension agencies (German Pension Insurance North and German Pension Insurance Central Germany).”

The correct sentence in the “Discussion” section is:

“In contrast to our previous analyses (Fauser et al., 2022), the severity of back pain was not significantly associated with rehabilitation utilization, which is likely due to the fact that we are examining an overall higher burdened sample in the current analysis (about one third with back pain grade III or IV and four in ten with subjective rehabilitation need), compared with our other analyses.”

The original article has been corrected.
