Correction Notice
In J Natl Med Assoc.2006;98:239–247, the map (Figure 1, page
242) illustrates the percent of Rhode Island residents below
200% poverty by 2000 U.S. Census Zip Code Tabulation Area
boundaries. Due to a technical bug in transforming the data
associated with the map, areas appear incorrectly shaded.
