Corrections

The affiliation of J. Arturo Silva, M.D., co-author of the letter entitled "Disability Payments and Drug Abuse" in the November 1996 issue (page 1266), was incorrect. Dr. Silva is affiliated with the psychiatry service at the South Texas Veterans Healthcare System in San Antonio.

In the paper entitled "The State of the State Mental Hospital in 1996," by Leona L. Bachrach, Ph.D., in the October 1996 issue (pages 1071-1078), the fourth sentence in the third full paragraph on page 1073, which compares the population in state mental hospitals in 1955 and 1995, listed the wrong year. It should have indicatcd that in 1955, a total of 339 of every 100,000 people living in the United States resided in state mental hosptals.
