The result of this study cannot be said as valid, because there is no randomization in
sampling so it can not be representative of the intended research population. The
inclusion criteria for being a research sample are also not clearly stated. The design in
this study is appropriate, which using cross sectional method that is able to examine
many variables at once, and calculating the prevalence number which is the number
that describe number of cases in a certain period.

Randomization should be done at the sampling in order to represent the
desired target population.
We recommend to test the correlation between variables using
statistical applications to determine the value of p-value so it can be
known that the result of study is meaningful or not.
