Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Regarding Pharmacovigilance and Barriers to Reporting Adverse Drug Reactions Among the General Population in Saudi Arabia
The study found that the majority of participants had inadequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and poor practice. Individuals holding a master's degree or higher and those working in the healthcare sector had the highest knowledge scores, whereas the group aged 31 to 50 years old, participants from the Al Jawf region, participants who are married with children, holders of a master's degree or higher, and healthcare workers had the best attitude scores. Higher practice scores were seen among married individuals with children and those who work in the healthcare sector.
