This thesis was a very ambitious undertaking, of scope larger than a Clinical Masters dissertation. That meant that the journal article was greatly overlength. Having said that, the design, execution and write up of the thesis was of a high standard, other than numerous small grammatical errors which I have noted in the thesis itself. Research problem well definted, literature review focussed and relevant, hypotheses clearly defined, method clearly described, results generally clearly reported and discussed, though very detailed and long, conclusions and recommendation generally appropriate.
One other point is that you should avoid using the term "utilise" and instead use the term "use" - it is simpler and means the same thing.
