Dear editor

Thank you very much for your encouraging comments and valuable feedback on our article titled “Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Among Middle-Aged and Elderly Population Towards Ultrasound Screening for Strokes”, published in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.

We appreciate your recognition of the work and are grateful for the insightful suggestions provided. Regarding your concern about the limitations of distributing questionnaires online, we understand and acknowledge this issue. In our study, we endeavored to mitigate these biases by implementing several verification measures to confirm the identity of respondents and ensuring consistency in the responses. Moving forward, we indeed plan to explore more direct data collection methods to further enhance the accuracy and validity of our data.

Your suggestions are immensely helpful for our future research directions. We are always open to constructive feedback and look forward to more such valuable inputs from you and your esteemed colleagues.
