Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsDear Editor/Authors,
Thank you for the opportunity to review this manuscript. Here are my comments for your response.
Abstract
Introduction
It needs to be extended with updated references to reflect the gap in the literature.
Specific literature is needed to show what is found related to the predictors of health.
Methods
How were the participants selected randomly? More details are needed.
Study questionnaire validation and reliability
Where is the description of the questionnaire? What is its contents? Who developed it?
Did you do the validity of the questionnaire with the experts or the patients?
Why did you do the pilot study from Hail City not from Riyadh?
Page 3, line 133, it is appeared for me that the data collection were conducted as the handed questionnaire, is it?
Results:
Table 1, there is a wrong in the percentages.
Insurance Coverage 75.7%, I think most of people who live in Saudi Arabia are covered by health insurance. Can you explain this percentage in your study?
Lines 160 to 170 are unclear
Table 2, you need to consult a Statistician please, why there are two columns of 95 %CI? Where are the p-values?
Discussion
Should be updated with more discussion with updated studies.
References
Should be updated to the last 5 years
Best regards
