In the research by Berner AM, et al, Attitudes of transgender men and non-binary people to cervical screening: a cross-sectional mixed-methods study in the UK. Br J Gen Pract 2021; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2020.0905, the authors would like to clarify that the estimate that transgender people make up 0.3% and 1.2% of the population is derived from a number of epidemiological studies in different countries, and estimates may vary according to rate of disclosure in that country. The latter UK estimate is drawn from data from the Office for National Statistics. Therefore the estimates for percentages and absolute numbers may not directly reflect each other. Text in the introduction, second paragraph, last sentence, now reads: ‘… trans people make up between 0.3% and 1.2% of the worldwide population.11–16 An estimated 200 000–500 000 trans people live in the UK.17’ The online version has been corrected.
