In the printed copy and .pdf file of Table 1 of "Abortion
Surveillance: Preliminary Analysis--United States, 1997," on pages
1172-3, in the column of data for 1997, "Weeks' gestation," the
incorrect numbers of 8.1 and 9.6 for 7 and 8 weeks, respectively,
appear. The correct numbers are 18.1 and 19.6, respectively. In the
.htm file of Table 1, the ¶¶ footnote incorrectly stated that
the number of reported abortions performed as medical (nonsurgical)
was 2983. The correct number is 2988 abortions.
