Other Comments? The study as written was not well-coordinated. There is need to reorganize the study report to achieve coherence in study aim, introduction, design, discussion and conclusion. For instance, the introduction failed to justify the study need for the study aim suggested from the title. The seeming confusion on the study aim portrayed in the introduction was manifested in the discussion section and conclusion.
