Authors presents a part of an important study: 
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT03261700?show_desc=Y#desc  
 
In order to improve compression for the readers I think it is necessary some minor modifications  
 
 
Methodology need more explanations:  
 
Why  there are more psychologists and a very low number of nurses or Physician?  
 
It is necessary to add something about demographic characteristics of the interviews (age, 
gender, years in the profession...)  
 
What was the strategy for the purposive sample desig n? 
 
How many time spend in every interview. Text explain that 20 minutes were necessary for study 
RISE, but how many time did they spend in order to answers questions?  
 
Some information about interview guide should be necessary  
 
I recommend to use a guide abo ut qualitative designs for check every information do you need 
add: COREQ checklist (o similar) in order to improve this article in the methodological section
