  • Text Correction
The original publication contained two typos in Section 2.1. Participants. There were seven participants who identified as men (25.9%) instead of eight participants. In addition, there were four participants who did not report their gender (14.8%) instead of one participant (3.7%).
The corrections have been made to Section 2.1. Participants, paragraph 1, as follows:
The study sample consisted of 37 immigrant parents and caregivers (e.g., grandparents) and children (either Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking individuals) from a Northeast urban community. Of the adult participants, sixteen participants (59%) were women, seven participants (25.9%) were men, and four participants (14.8%) did not report their gender. Our average caregiver participant age was 37.6 years (SD = 8.99), and the age ranged from age 18 to 55. Participants were from a variety of Latin American countries of origin, including Brazil (n = 14, 51.9%), El Salvador (n = 6, 22.2%), Guatemala (n = 4, 14.8%), Ecuador (n = 1, 3.7%), Honduras (n = 1, 3.7%), and Mexico (n = 1, 3.7%). Regarding legal status, 19 were unauthorized (70.4%), of whom 3 participants had a deportation order (11.1%), 4 participants had a valid visa (14.8%), 2 participants (7.4%) were legal U.S. residents and/or had a Green Card, and 2 participants (7.4%) were U.S. citizens. The average time living in the U.S. was 9.26 years (SD = 9.32), ranging from 1 to 32 years. Select interviews were conducted with 10 children of caregiver participants to ascertain dyadic experiences. Overall, five child participants were boys (50%), four child participants were girls (40%), and one child participant (10%) did not report their gender. The average child participant age was 11 years (SD = 3.53), and the age ranged from 7 to 17 years. For additional participant demographic information, please refer to Table 1.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
