Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The article presented is of great interest and relevance. It is worth paying attention to the data on sexual violence against children in order to improve interventions in this area.
The authors also use an original and novel approach to reflect on the value of data.
The following are a number of aspects that could help to improve the work presented:
- The authors should specify more clearly what the aim of the work presented is.
- It would be interesting to reflect on the limitations of the study, as well as possible lines of future work based on what has been done.
