    In “Tracking Healthy People 2020 Internet, Broadband, and Mobile Device Access Goals: An Update Using Data From the Health Information National Trends Survey” (J Med Internet Res 2019;21(6):e13300) the authors made the following updates.

    The authors were notified of data errors in two of the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) cycle datasets (HINTS 4, Cycle 3 and HINTS 4, Cycle 4); the errors were in the weights provided for use in the analysis of these data [1].

    These weights primarily affected logistic regression analyses, reported in Table 2 of the originally published article. This previous version of Table 2 is in Multimedia Appendix 1. Following the HINTS error notice [1], the authors reran the logistic regression analyses. The corrected version of the article includes the following updated Table 2.

    In rerunning this analysis, only one difference was found that resulted in changes in the conclusion. Namely, geography is significant, with those in rural settings having significantly lower odds of having internet access via a mobile phone compared to their urban counterparts (OR = 0.80; 95% CI: 0.65-0.98; P=.033). This finding was not reported as significant in the original analysis, due to the above-mentioned error in the HINTS data sets [1]. All other conclusions remain consistent with those reported in the original publication.

    In the section “Internet Access via Cellular Network” in the Results, the first sentence in the second paragraph originally read as follows:

    Most of the sociodemographic variables within our multivariable model were statistically significant after adjusting for survey year, save for geography (Table 2).

    It has been corrected as follows:

    Most of the sociodemographic variables within our multivariable model were statistically significant after adjusting for survey year (Table 2).
