Prevalence and predictors of tobacco use among Saudi adolescents
Increased efforts are needed to address the harmful health and social impacts of smoking among adolescents in Saudi Arabia. Such efforts may include educational health campaigns targeting adolescents at their schools or in public places and mass gatherings
E-cigarette outcome expectancies
This study aimed to explore e-cigarette outcome expectancies and identify the associated sociodemographic characteristics among healthcare students. A cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed between December 2022 and June 2023 to all students within healthcare disciplines in Saudi Arabian universities. Data are presented as frequencies and percentages. The associated sociodemographic factors were subjected to logistic regression. 5,012 stud…
The prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of tobacco and nicotine use among students in healthcare disciplines in Saudi Arabian universities
Background: Tobacco smoking is one of the most significant health-related problems worldwide. However, the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of tobacco and nicotine use among students on healthcare courses in Saudi Arabia are limited. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire that was distributed via SurveyMonkey between November 2022 and June 2023 to all student universities offering healthcare courses. Data are present…
The associations between cigarette smoking behavior and the use of heated tobacco products among Arab cigarette smokers

Evidence-based treatment of TUD is effective, but treatment accessibility remains very low. A dearth of specially trained clinicians is a significant barrier to treatment accessibility, even within systems of care that implement brief intervention models. The treatment of TUD is becoming…
Preventability of Colorectal Cancer in Saudi Arabia
A rise in colorectal cancer (CRC) burden is expected around the globe. This study aimed to determine the population attributable fractions (PAFs) of CRC cases contributed by modifiable risk factors in Saudi Arabia. The PAF was calculated for modifiable risk factors with strong evidences of a causal association with CRC. CRC incidence was obtained from the National Cancer Registry, relative risks were retrieved from recent meta-analysis studies, a…

This case points at a need for risk communication training, possible tobacco industry manipulation, and a need to gain consumer trust with evidence-based messaging techniques. The case of cigarette plain packaging adoption in Saudi Arabia serves as an example to other countries of potential consumer interaction, tobacco industry interference, and state official counter-reactions
Delphi consensus on research priorities in tobacco use and substance abuse in Saudi Arabia
This is the first study to develop research priorities in tobacco use and substance abuse in Saudi Arabia. Health personnel and community volunteers participated in a national internet survey using the Delphi method. In Round 1, 75 experts identified 33 research priorities. In Round 2, 47 experts divided those research priorities into five primary research categories. The panelists then scored both the categories and priorities. Preventive servic…
