Following publication of the original article [1], the authors have flagged that the article contains the following errors:

  1. 1-

    All instances of the year ‘1994’ should instead be ‘1999’

  1. 2-

    The article should refer to ‘four rounds of Zimbabwe Demographic and Health Survey data’ (not ‘five rounds…’)

  1. 3-

    In the Conclusions of the article, it should read ‘67% higher than the 50% target’ (not ‘70% higher…’)

The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused.
