In the originally published version, the sentence reading ‘‘The subjects were of Puerto Rican, Mexican, and African ancestry, populations known to present both the highest asthma prevalence and mortality and the lowest albuterol BDR’’ is incorrect with respect to the prevalence of asthma inMexican American populations. This sentence has been revised to read ‘‘The subjects were Americans of Mexican, Puerto Rican, and African ancestry; the latter two populations present both the highest asthma prevalence and mortality and the lowest albuterol BDR.Mexican Americans have amongst the lowest prevalence of asthma in the United States.’’ The authors apologize for any confusion this error may have caused.
