Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I appreciate the opportunity to review this work, well thought out and explained in the article. I congratulate the authors. I believe that in its present wording it can be accepted. However I only make a small suggestion for your consideration: 1.- In the methodology indicate the full names indicated with acarnyms (for example: CINAHL or PICOS). 2.- In the categories of interventions, I suggest to group into the same category the methods of behavior change and those carried out with cognitive-behavioral therapy, because the two have similar theoretical principles and methodologies. And to remove from psychotherapy cognitive-condutual therapy leaving in this category the other therapies.
