Table 1 in the original publication of “Determinants of survivorship care plan use in United States cancer programs” (Birken SA, Deal AM, Mayer DK, Weiner BJ; 2014;doi:10.1007/s13187-014-0645-7) erroneously excluded an item designation for one group of response options. The following response options should correspond to the item "In your opinion, what are barriers to SCP use in your cancer program? Please check all that apply.": “There are not enough resources (e.g., time, staff, training, money) to use SCPs”; "Perception that SCPs are difficult to use"; "Influential people (e.g., physician champions, managers) have not advocated for SCPs to be used"; and "Other."
