This is a correction notice for a previously published scientific article that examined whether the Self-Assessment Anhedonia Scale produces equivalent results when administered on paper versus electronically in patients with substance use disorders. The original study found that both administration formats yielded comparable measurements, supporting the validity of electronic assessment methods in clinical settings. This correction addresses an error in the original publication.

Why it matters

Electronic administration of psychological assessments can improve efficiency and accessibility in clinical practice, particularly for substance use disorder treatment settings. Demonstrating format equivalence ensures that transitioning to digital assessments does not compromise measurement accuracy or clinical decision-making.
