Title: Determinants of induced abortion among women of reproductive age: Evidence from the
2013 and 2019 Sierra Leone Demographic and Health Survey.
Version: 4 Date: 10 Dec 2022
Reviewer:  Mohamed Boie Jalloh
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for attending to the comments I made earlier. You have clarified number of the points
I raised. Kindly review the manuscript to
a. Make it clear that your study was about "induced abortion" and not "complications of induced
abortion".
b. Ensure that the reader is clear on the dependent variable for which you were evaluating several
independent variables in your regression models.
c.  Ensure that the recommendations are based on your study findings.

Title: How do carbohydrate quality indices influence on bone mass density in postmenopausal
women? - A case-control study
Version: 2 Date: 09 Dec 2022
Reviewer:  José Luis Perez-castrillon
Reviewer's report:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between CQI, LCDS, GI, insulin
load (IL), and insulin index (II) with bone mass density (BMD) in postmenopausal women.
In conclusion, higher GI diets increased the risk, but LCD and CQI decreased the risk of
osteopenia and osteoporosis. These findings suggest that a higher intake of fruits and vegetables
and receiving various dietary vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant compounds may be a useful
way to prevent osteopenia in Iranian women. Also, further studies with a longitudinal design,
particularly trial studies and a higher sample size, are required to explain the better association
between CQI and osteoporosis risk among this population.
The introduction is well written , with adequate bibliographic references and stating the
hypothesis of the study
The methodology is widely especially in the methods used. The study population is poorly
described. It would be interesting to include whether or not patients with fractures are included.
The DEXA should indicate that densitometric osteoporosis is being analyzed. In the statistical
analysis, it must be stated how the sample size has been chosen and what its statistical power is.
However, the graphic representation of any of the tables will help to understand the results
The discussion is correct, adapting to the results obtained. The strengths must be included

Are there any inclusion and exclusion criteria?
Where were the samples found? And who interviewed them?
When was the data collected?
Is there any equation for sample size?
There is no information about the coding and the way of measuring the knowledge and attitude
scores.

Title: Female High School Students' Knowledge and Attitude toward Breast Cancer
Version: 6 Date: 01 Nov 2022
Reviewer's report:
Additional notes should be considered including:
1.  in the Abstract: the result, there is a missing mean± SD in the following sentence, and
only students with a family history of breast cancer were almost aware of the knowledge of
mammography (mean± standard deviation = 0.94±.90, P=0.19).
2.  in the Method: regarding the year of the study conduction what do authors mean by 1400??
3.  in the discussion: Limitation:   there is one limitation of the present study was that only a
group of students with a limited age range were investigated, so the results may be difficult to
generalize to the women's community

PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS: This revised manuscript is much stronger now from a
methodological viewpoint. All my concerns have been addressed. Based on the new results not
so much needed to be changed in the discussion.
This is a detailed analysis addressing the matter of knowledge, practice, and attitude regarding
the prevention of a healthcare-associated infection. There are many studies like this, but
definitely less detailed in their analyses.
ADDITIONAL REQUESTS/SUGGESTIONS:
I noticed a small typo on page 4: it should be ""Klebsiella pneumoniae"" (instead of ""Klebsiella
pneumonia"")"
Title: Contraceptive Utilization And Associated Factors Among Polygamous And
Monogamous Women In Worebabo Woreda, South Wollo Zone, Ethiopia: A Comparative Cross
Sectional Study
Version: 1 Date: 16 Nov 2022
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
This is an interesting subject. I would like to suggest a set of comment.
1-Explain about sample size calculation in the qualitative study. (145 line)
2-Data presented in tables should not be duplicated in text, and vice versa. (For example, tables
1 and 243 until 253 lines …)
3-There is no need to put the total number in each item inside the tables.
4-Change the sentences in 400 up to 439 lines. You have written with the same repetitive
sentences, that cannot be evaluated.
5-Describe the strength and limitation of your study before conclusion.
6-All abbreviations should be described for the first time in manuscript. (Such as: FP, HCP…)
7-The English language needs improvement within your manuscript
Title: Contraceptive Utilization And Associated Factors Among Polygamous And
Monogamous Women In Worebabo Woreda, South Wollo Zone, Ethiopia: A Comparative Cross
Sectional Study
Version: 3 Date: 02 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Antoine Naem
Reviewer's report:
General impression:
The authors conducted an interesting study to determine factors associated with the use of
contraceptive methods among a population of Ethiopian women. The study followed a robust
methodology and the paper is well-written and well-structured. The results are objective and
informative. I think this work is worth publication but requires some minor revisions before it
is finally accepted.
Comments:
1. In the introduction (line 60), please write “World Health Organization”.
2. In the introduction (line 70), please mention what is the unmet need (unmet need for
contraception?).
3. In the methods and materials section (line 175), I could not understand what “locational
amenorrhea” means. Was it intended to refer to “lactational amenorrhea”? If so, I do not believe
that it should be considered a “Modern Contraceptive Method” for two reasons: the first one
is that it was not voluntarily opted by the woman to avoid pregnancy as it is a physiological
process that cannot be opposed. The second is that a woman of low educational background may
not know that this is a contraceptive method unless she heard about it during the data collection.
This point requires clarification.
4. In the results (line 441) and the abstract (line 47), I could not understand how fertility
desire would have a positive correlation with the use of contraceptives unless the authors meant
“undesired fertility”. Otherwise, a patient willing to conceive won’t use contraceptives.

Title: The Influence of Disordered Eating and Social Media’s Portrayals of Pregnancy on Young
Women’s Attitudes Toward Pregnancy
Version: 2 Date: 01 Dec 2022
Reviewer:  Anna Zalewska
Reviewer's report:
First of all, I thank you for the opportunity to review this interesting contribution. The aims of
this study were to to assess if there is a relationship between DE and young women’s attitudes
toward a potential pregnancy and to assess if various portrayals of pregnancy on social media
influence these attitudes. There are some issues that need to be considered.
• In the introduction, the authors wrote: „Unfortunately for young adults with DE tendencies,
this period of time is usually marked by significant life changes. Starting college and leaving
home is a common step for young adults, which can be particularly stressful.” and „Given the
age of onset of DE thoughts and behaviors and their association with stress, this population is at
particular risk for experiencing DE symptoms.” - you need to provide a reference to the source.
• Were women informed that they could withdraw without consequence at any time during the
study?
• When the survey was conducted?
• The Ethics Committee - please add the consent number.
• The sample size is small for a study that aimed to assess if there is a relationship between
DE and young women’s attitudes toward a potential pregnancy. This should be highlighted
in the limitation. The authors should also highlight potential sampling bias that can affect the
interpretation of the results. There is a need to elaborate the inclusion and exclusion criteria of
sample recruitment. There is also a need to explain  the representativeness of the sample.
• „(Paterno & Han, 2014) and (Fealy et al., 2021)” - wrong references description (in the text
they should appear as numbers).
