Unfortunately, a typographic error in the results portion of the abstract was missed during final stages of proofing and editing. The count of full elicitors should read as 38/68 rather than 28/68, and the % of negative elicitors is 23%. The corrected results read as follows: Residents fell into three groups when it came to clinical problem-solving around a housing trigger for asthma: those who failed to ask about housing and therefore did not uncover mold as a potential trigger (neglectors – 21%; 14/68); those who asked about housing in negative ways that prevented disclosure and response (negative elicitors – 23%, 16/68); and those who elicited and explored the mold issue (full elicitors – 56%; 38/68).
