Notes from the review of this manuscript

The study authors used multiple imputation, which is an acceptable approach to handling missing data under HomVEE standards. However, the authors used different sources of outcomes data for the intervention and comparison groups, and they used specific imputation approaches for each data source. This approach to missing data does not meet requirements under HomVEE standards, which require that the approach be the same in the intervention and comparison groups.
