Article Synopsis
- Pharmacovigilance (PV) is crucial in healthcare but is still developing in Saudi Arabia, prompting a study to assess public knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding it and challenges in reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
- A cross-sectional survey was conducted with an online questionnaire targeting adults, resulting in 1098 valid responses, where knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were analyzed statistically.
- Findings revealed inadequate knowledge (average score of 37.8) among participants, although many had a positive attitude (average score of 90.1); overall, most participants displayed poor practices regarding reporting ADRs, especially among those without advanced degrees or healthcare professions.
