Following publication of the original article [1], the

author reported a mistake in the caption related to
Fig. 2.
The published caption “The blue line between “Social
Location” and “Material Circumstances” should be
double headed, having an arrow head at both ends”
needs to be replaced with “Health Equity Measurement
Framework”.
Also, in Fig. 2 the arrow linking “Social Location” and
“Material Circumstances” should be pointing at both
directions.
The original article has been corrected as well.
The publisher apologizes for any inconvenience caused
by this error.
