There are errors in Tables 1 and 2 and Supporting Information S3 and S4 Tables. The studies Robertson, 2012 [3], Dunlop, 2011 [35], and Sueki, 2015 [50] are incorrectly classified due to a merging error in earlier drafts. Please see the corrected Tables 1 and 2 and Supporting Information S3 and S4 Tables below.

There are errors in the eighth and ninth sentences of the Results section. The correct sentences are: Using the CASP quality score 18 articles were assessed as high quality, 18 as medium quality and 15 as low (S3 Table). The quality of articles varied by study design with a greater proportion of quantitative (14/23) than qualitative ones (0/16) rated as high quality.

There is an error in the fifth sentence of the second paragraph of the Discussion section. The correct sentence is: Twelve studies examined general internet use, seven of which were of high quality.
