Please be advised there are two errors in the abstract.

The abstract currently reads: "The pooled prevalence of probable depression was 29.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 20.5 to 39.4], whereas the pooled prevalence of major depressive disorder was 13.9% (95% CI: 9.7 to 18.6)."

The abstract should read: "The pooled prevalence of probable depression was 30.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 19.7–41.8], whereas the pooled prevalence of major depressive disorder was 14.5% (95% CI, 8.9–21.2)."

The numbers in the text of the article are correct. I am grateful to Charlotte Bernard of VIH, Cancer and Global Health in Africa, INSERM U897, ISPED, University of Bordeaux, for pointing out the error. On November 5, 2015, I contacted the journal editors about issuing an erratum and will update this post with more information as it comes available. As of November 30 I have not heard a response.
