AI Article Synopsis
- - The POSHA-S survey assessed attitudes toward people who stutter (PWS) among 404 adults in Saudi Arabia, revealing that their perceptions were generally positive but knowledge about stuttering was limited.
- - Key factors influencing overall stuttering scores included working status, income, and being multilingual, while age, gender, and education did not significantly affect attitudes.
- - To improve awareness of stuttering, campaigns should leverage popular platforms like the Internet and social media in Saudi Arabia, focusing on enhancing understanding among the public.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) was used to measure the attitudes of the general population in Saudi Arabia toward people who stutter (PWS) and to identify the predictors of the overall stuttering score (OSS).
Method: A total of 404 adults from Saudi Arabia (16.8% male and 83.2% female) completed an online POSHA-S questionnaire.
Results: The attitudes of adults in Saudi Arabia were similar to those of other samples worldwide. Working status, income, and multilingualism were substantial predictors of the OSS.
Conclusion: Saudi adults have positive impressions, beliefs, and self-reactions to PWS. However, their knowledge of stuttering tends to be limited. Therefore, campaigns conducted to raise awareness of stuttering should adopt the most widely used sources of knowledge in the Saudi Arabian community (i.e., the Internet and social media). Sociodemographic variables predictive of positive versus negative OSS include working status and multilingualism. Unpredictive variables, that do not predict positive versus negative OSS, include age, gender, education, parental status, health, abilities, and income.

Quinoline is a highly privileged scaffold with significant pharmacological potential. Introducing a carbonyl group into the quinoline ring generates a quinolone ring, which exhibits promising biological properties. Incorporating a carboxamide linkage at different positions within the quinoline and quinolone frameworks has proven an effective strategy for enhancing pharmacological properties, particularly anticancer potency.
