Knowledge and Perception of Anti-obesity Medications Among Primary Healthcare Center Visitors in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2024: An Analytical Cross-Sectional Study

The study reveals that primary healthcare visitors in Jeddah have a moderate level of knowledge about AOMs, with significant differences based on education, professional status, and sources of information. To improve awareness and appropriate use of AOMs, targeted educational interventions should be implemented. These interventions could help reduce obesity-related health issues by ensuring that individuals are well-informed about the benefits and risks of AOMs.

Abstract

The study reveals that primary healthcare visitors in Jeddah have a moderate level of knowledge about AOMs, with significant differences based on education, professional status, and sources of information. To improve awareness and appropriate use of AOMs, targeted educational interventions should be implemented. These interventions could help reduce obesity-related health issues by ensuring that individuals are well-informed about the benefits and risks of AOMs.
