In the version of the article initially published, Joubert F-P, Chiliza B, Emsley R, Asmal L. Extrapyramidal side effects in first-episode schizophrenia treated with flupenthixol decanoate. S Afr J Psychiatr. 2021;27(0), a1568. https://doi.org/10.4102/sajpsychiatry.v27i0.1568, a sentence in the ‘Conclusion’ section of the abstract was given incorrectly. The correct sentence should be ‘Ethnicity is a socio-cultural construct and the differential risk of EPSEs according to ethnicity should be interpreted accordingly’ instead of ‘Ethnicity is a socio-cultural construct, and hence the differential risk of EPSEs should be interpreted according to ethnicity’.
