Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear authors, thank you for presenting this important study developed from your team. 

I have some suggestions to improve your manuscript:

1) In the introduction, consider incorporate the aims of your study;

2) in the results, consider put the description of figures after the figure presentation. It is more friendly and comprehensive for the reader;

3) Maybe in the conclusions you can incorporate, although the limitations presented in the end of the results, the contributions for research, clinical practice and for society (considering the improvement of the quality of the assistance to these kinds of citizens after a disaster period. 

4) There is any explicit reference to ethical procedures and authorizations. Can you incorporate these information?

Reviewer 2 Report

Material and Methods are well described, but the authors could explain the statistical method used also under the Figures. I mean just, to indicate the method used.

I suggest increasing the bibliography, especially in the discussion, which should be better argued.

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear Authors, 

Many thanks for the opportunity to read your paper: it is well done and very interesting

Introduction, in a simple way, presents the topic

methods are correct and well reported

Statistics: those who have no high level of medical statistics find some difficulties: please improve the text and make it easier to understand.

Results are precise with nice graph plots

Discussion: 

Do you think that the absence of a shared decision-making process could have a role in all mental diseases? Could this problem have made worse the situation ? ( doi: 10.1111/jep.13300. Epub 2019 Oct 29. PMID: 31661726) (I'm not the author)

Conclusions are adequate
