Notes from the review of this manuscript
The mode of data collection in this manuscript is a confounding factor. Specifically, the intervention group data were collected through in-person interviews conducted by outreach workers (that is, the home visitors), whereas comparison group data were collected through telephone interviews conducted by college students.
