Reviewer 2 Report
Dear Authors
With all respect, the manuscript was so interesting and impressive in term of informative content for healthcare management in Indonesia and would be applied for that, but in my opinion is not acceptable and related to this Journal. I recommend to submit to another journals after minor revision in presentation of results.

Reviewer 3 Report
Thank you for giving me the chance to review this work, which I found interesting to read. The manuscript is well drafted, however, I have a minor comments for improvement:
Line 85: do you mean it was a retrospective study that utilised secondary data analysis etc?
Abstract and line 132: "7% of the participants were 16 years of age or younger" I am not sure why the emphasis is on the minority of the participants? can you express it differently? e.g., the majority were in ?? age group.
Line 138: Do you mean detailed demographic information of the participants are provided in Table 1?
In table 1: n & % could be merged in one column as n(%)
In table 1: how did you determine the middle income level? it is not clear.
Line 298: :.... in Indonesia. In Indonesia, 10.9% ........" The two sentences could be merged in one sentence, with removing the repetitive word "Indonesia".
