The April 2017 issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior carried a Research Brief titled Design and Evaluation of a Training Protocol for a Photographic Method of Visual Estimation of Fruit and Vegetable Intake among Kindergarten Through Second-Grade Students (JNEB 2017;49:346-351. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jneb.2017.01.004). In the Results section, the sentence “In training 1, for the measurement variable of amount of FV served (in cups), the ICC was 0.43 (fair) (P < .05); for the percentage of FV consumed, the ICC was 0.89 (substantial) (P < .05)” is also incorrect. It should read “In training 1, for the measurement variable of amount of FV served (in cups), the ICC was 0.43 (fair) (P < .05); for the percentage of FV consumed, the ICC was 0.88 (substantial) (P < .05)”.
In Table 2, some of the values were incorrect. In the “Training 1” column, “Fruits and vegetables consumed” should be “0.88* (0.73 to 0.96)”; “Fruits consumed (%)” should be “0.98* (0.93 to 1.00)”; and “Vegetables consumed (%)” should be “0.97* (0.85 to 1.00)”. In the “Training 2” column, “Amount of fruits and vegetables served (cups)” should be “0.89* (0.79 to 0.95)” and “Amount of vegetables served (cups)” should be “0.85* (0.69 to 0.94)”. See below for the corrected table.
Significant at P < .05.

| Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (95% Confidence Interval) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | Training 1 | Training 2 | Training 3 | Training at Schools |
| Amount of fruits and vegetables served (cups) | 0.43 (0.10 to 0.74) | 0.89 (0.79 to 0.95) | 0.86 (0.61 to 0.98) | 0.81 (0.79 to 0.84) |
| Fruits and vegetables consumed (%) | 0.88 (0.73 to 0.96) | 0.97 (0.95 to 0.99) | 0.95 (0.85 to 0.99) | 0.91 (0.89 to 0.92) |
| Amount of fruits served (cups) | –0.06 (–0.39 to 0.68) | 0.96 (0.84 to 0.99) | 0.97 (0.60 to 1.00) | 0.35 (0.27 to 0.42) |
| Fruits consumed (%) | 0.98 (0.93 to 1.00) | 1.00 (1.00 to 1.00) | 0.67 (–0.14 to 1.00) | 0.86 (0.82 to 0.89) |
| Amount of vegetables served (cups) | 0.48 (0.06 to 0.83) | 0.85 (0.69 to 0.94) | 0.81 (0.38 to 0.99) | 0.86 (0.83 to 0.88) |
| Vegetables consumed (%) | 0.97 (0.85 to 1.00) | 0.97 (0.93 to 0.99) | 0.98 (0.92 to 1.00) | 0.96 (0.94 to 0.97) |
