Page 2265, Results, Demographic Characteristics section, line five, the text “approximately half had children (49%)” should read “approximately three-quarters had children (73%)”.

Page 2265, Results, Characteristics of Social Media Usage section, first sentence, the text “The overwhelming majority of respondents (94%) reported having a professional social media account with the top three most popular platforms being Instagram (25.2%), LinkedIn (22.6%), and Facebook (19.6%)” should read “The overwhelming majority of respondents (86%) reported having a professional social media account with the top three most popular platforms being Instagram (57.7%), LinkedIn (51.7%), and Facebook (45.0%)”.

Table 1 on pages 2266 and 2267, the percentages for the “Number of children” and “Professional social media platforms*” characteristics are incorrect. The correct Table 1 is shown below.
