IntroductionThe present study investigated knowledge, awareness, and barriers to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening from a sample of the general population in Saudi Arabia.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2022 and January 2023 among a sample of the general population in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of demographics, knowledge and awareness, and questions about CRC screening barriers.ResultsA total of 1105 adults belonged to the general public [505 females (45.7%) and 600 males (54.3%)] recruited in this survey. The mean age of the respondents was 39.79±12.49. The internet was the primary source of CC information for most participants, 661(59.8%). Gender-wise comparison of general public responses regarding CRC knowledge and awareness and barriers to screening showed a mixed response. Analysis of participants’ knowledge regarding CRC and its risk factors and warning signs showed that 356(32.2%) people believed that the best age for the CRC test is 41–50 years, and 285(25.8%) responded they don’t know. Almost half of the participants, 539(48.8%), were not interested in attending awareness seminars about CRC, while 371(33.6%) were interested in attending awareness seminars about CRC. Only one-third of the respondents, 368(33.3%), knew of any tests or examinations used to detect CRC. Participants’ perceptions about colonoscopy-related and FOBT-related barriers to CRC screening disclosed that these are time-consuming, expensive, painful, embarrassing, etc.ConclusionInsufficient information, poor awareness, and several assumed barriers to CRC screening were found among study participants. There is a need to close knowledge gaps and offer them comprehensive information regarding CRC, as well as the availability and benefits of screening. In this aspect, social media can be extremely beneficial.

The Saudi Arabia Condominiums & Apartments Market size was valued at USD 15 Billion in the year 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 26.36 Billion in 2032, at a CAGR of 7.3% over the forecast period of 2026 to 2032.Key Market Drivers:Population Growth and Urbanization: Saudi Arabia's population growth and urbanization are driving demand for condominiums and apartments, especially in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. Saudi Arabia's urban population reached 85% in 2023, with large cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah enjoying annual growth rates of 2.8% and 2.3%, respectively. This fast urbanization, combined with the Kingdom's young demographic (63% under 30), has created a strong demand for apartment living, boosting the market value to SAR 156 billion in 2023.

BackgroundFood allergy is an increasing health concern. Studies have shown that food allergy knowledge is lacking among people, especially in areas related to distinction between food allergy and intolerance, symptoms recognition, and current means of management. This knowledge gap puts allergic patients at more risk of getting fatal anaphylactic reactions, which occur mostly in public areas. Locally, Public's knowledge and attitudes of food allergy was not sufficiently investigated. Therefore, we aim to assess food allergy knowledge and attitudes among Jeddah population in Saudi Arabia.MethodsWe adopted The Chicago Food Allergy Research Survey for the General Public (CFARS-GP) and used it as a data collection tool. We hosted the questionnaire on Google Forms and distributed the link through social media outlets targeting individuals of Jeddah population who are 18 years old and above.ResultsA total of 510 individuals completed the survey. The respondents answered 56% of the knowledge-based items correctly. Knowledge was strongest in symptoms/severity and definition/diagnosis, while it was weakest in susceptibility and prevalence, distinction between food allergy and intolerance, and food allergy management. Higher knowledge was significantly associated with prior training in food allergy, food-allergic acquaintance (i.e., having food allergy or knowing an allergic patient), and being a relative of a health care worker. For the attitudes, respondents thought that food allergy negatively affects patients' quality of life, and that schools should establish policies to protect allergic children; however, they downplayed stigma associated with food allergy.ConclusionIncreased food allergy knowledge among the general public is needed especially in areas related to susceptibility and prevalence, distinction between food allergy and intolerance, triggers and environmental risks, and the management of food allergy. Prior experience with food allergy through (1) training, (2) food-allergic acquaintance, or (3) being a relative of a health care worker increases food allergy knowledge significantly. Thus, targeted educational interventions might have a significant effect in improving food allergy knowledge among the general population.
