<p>Adriana Guimaraes Rodrigues, Nathália dos Santos Dutra:<br> <br> We have reached a decision regarding your submission to Revista Interamericana de Psicologia Interamerican Journal of Psychology, "Levantamento dos principais motivos para a institucionalização de idosos / Survey of reasons for using facility-based long-term care for the elderly.".<br> <br> Our decision is to: Revisions are required -- please see below.<br>&nbsp;<br> Dr. Edil Torres Rivera<br>South University<br>ripeditor007@gmail.com</p>
<p><br><br><br>&nbsp;The article is original and interesting, however, it is considered necessary that some modifications be made before its publication. Little research is reviewed on the reasons for the institutionalization of older adults, so it is recommended to include research from other Latin American countries (not only limited to Brazil, or if the article will be only Brazilian studies, indicate in the objective or title of the article), it is also suggested to expand and update the references, because some are more than ten years ago.Recommendation: Revisions Required<br>&nbsp;<br><br><br></p><br/>The following message is being delivered on behalf of Interamerican Journal of Psychology.
