Further comments on the paper

Comments:

The paper does a commendable job of addressing a complex and globally relevant issue. It might benefit from a more detailed discussion on the implications of these barriers for policy and practice and specific recommendations for healthcare providers, policymakers, and communities. Furthermore, exploring the potential role of technology and innovation in overcoming some of these barriers could add valuable insights.

Overall, your paper presents a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the sociocultural and economic factors influencing hormonal contraceptive use across different geographic areas. It contributes significantly to the existing literature by highlighting the disparities in access and usage and suggesting ways to address these challenges.

Reviewer 1: The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of socioeconomic and cultural factors influencing hormonal contraceptive use. It adeptly compares developed and under-developed regions, using a well-structured literature review. The explicit statement of the goal in the introduction and the clear, logical progression through the sections stand out. However, it could benefit from deeper exploration into policy implications and technological solutions to identified barriers.

Reviewer 2: This study offers valuable insights into the barriers to hormonal contraceptive use worldwide. The use of relevant, up-to-date literature strengthens its arguments. While the paper's structure and coherence are commendable, further recommendations for overcoming barriers, particularly through innovative healthcare solutions, would enhance its applicability and impact.
