Abstract

CMAJ has been made aware of an omis- sion in a Research article published Oct. 19, 2020.1

The competing interests statement should have mentioned that 2 authors (David Gomez and Najma Ahmed) are members of national and international medical associations that advocate for the reduction of firearm injuries: the American College of Surgeons, the Trauma Association of Canada and the Panamerican Trauma Society. In addi- tion, David Gomez and Najma Ahmed are members of the Canadian Doctors for Protection from Guns, which is an advo- cacy group. The Research article does not represent any of these societies or advo- cacy groups.

The competing interests statement has been updated at cmaj.ca.
