Factors Associated with the Public’s Intention to Report Adverse Drug Reactions to Community Pharmacists in the Makkah Region of Saudi Arabia: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior

This study revealed a strong public intention to report ADRs to community pharmacists in the Makkah region, driven primarily by positive attitudes, supportive subjective norms, and high perceived behavioral control. However, the findings highlight a critical gap in public awareness of the Saudi NPC, with only 21% of participants aware of its existence. These results underscore the importance of targeted initiatives to improve awareness of the Saudi NPC and to leverage positive attitudes and social norms to promote ADR reporting practices effectively.
