First of all, the authors did not answer of any of my comments.
I suggest that the authors read similar papers published in JMIR to better understand how to report their study like a scientific report and write their manuscript based on these papers.

In this section, the authors should explain what issue needs to be solved and what can be done to solve this issue (method or tools or...) as well as describe why they chose the selected method for this problem or issue. Then, they should refer to similar studies that have used these methods. In fact, the introduction should answer these questions: What is the problem? What are the ways to solve it? Talk about your choice and the logic behind that.

At the end of the first paragraph, the author refers to health behavior change; it is necessary to refer to the role of behavior changing theory (BCT) and its application in health interventions. Also, refer to similar studies that have used this approach to change health behaviors.
At the end of paragraph, the author says:
“in contrast with prior works”
Which prior works? You do not say anything about other studies in this field, weaknesses, gaps, or anything else.
In the last paragraph of the

What were the inclusion/exclusion criteria?

How was information collected, and what method or instrument has been used?
What is the time period of this study? etc.

However, there is no information about the mechanism of behavior change or use of behavior change theories in their intervention.
This is very important in that the intervention aimed to change behavior using behavioral change theories and techniques.
Also, when your main purpose of the design of this program is to change people’s behaviors, you should provide information about these techniques and the efficiency of these methods to solve the problem you speak about.

The references list, generally, must be rewritten.
I suggest looking at the references list in similar papers published in JMIR so that you can better understand the structure of a scientific article and try to submit your report based on the overall structure of these articles.
I suggest looking at the references list in similar papers published in JMIR and rewrite this section based on the journal format requested.
Reference No. 1, the authors’ names must be modified.
Reference No. 2 should also be modified like Reference No 1.
Reference No. 7, after the name of the journal, enter the publication year, not the issue or page number. This problem is seen in most cases, for example:
7. HUNT, JUSTIN, AND DANIEL EISENBERG. “Mental Health Problems and Help-Seeking Behavior Among College Students.” Journal of Adolescent Health 46, NO. 1 (2010): 3-10.
Do not write the authors' full name and last name together, for example, in References No. 10, 11, and 13.
If the authors of the study number more than 6 people, you must use “et all.” after the name of the sixth author.
The revised version addresses the earlier comments and represents an improvement over the prior version.
However, in the References section, there is a minor comment.
I suggest to the authors to look at the references list in similar papers published in JMIR and rewrite this section based on the journal format requested, like this:
Reference No. 1:
Lake J, Turner MS. Urgent Need for Improved Mental Health Care and a More Collaborative Model of Care. Perm J. 2017;21:17-024. doi: 10.7812/TPP/17-024. PMID: 28898197; PMCID: PMC5593510.
Please rewrite all references like this.
