Full access

In the report “Investigation of the effects of veterinarians' attire on ratings of trust, confidence, and comfort in a sample of pet owners in Canada” (J Am Vet Med Assoc 2020;256:1268–1276), the proportion of participants who agreed that veterinarians should wear a name tag is incorrectly reported in the first paragraph of the Results section (309/449 [68.8%]). The correct value is 157/449 (35.0%).

In the ninth paragraph of the Discussion section, the description of responses related to veterinarians' wearing of name tags is incorrectly summarized in the first 2 sentences. This section should read as follows: Most participants in our study (297/449 [66.1%]) agreed or strongly agreed that name tags should be part of a veterinarian's attire. Of interest, the number of participants who strongly agreed that name tags should be part of a veterinarian's attire (140/449 [31.2%]) was subjectively greater than the number of participants who strongly agreed that a veterinarian's attire is important (72/445 [16.2%]).
