5. I find the introduction evasive. The authors need to restructure this part. First define the central problem, show its importance in terms of scale and seriousness, and then explain the motivation behind the study. I did not perceive the quantitative aspect of this study as stipulated in the methodology.

Author’s comment: Changes were made. This is a qualitative study as stated in the methodology section.
