“…To our knowledge, this is the first study of Saudi adolescents using caffeine and a very important study as it is a day-to-day problem that needs attention. The overall prevalence of caffeine consumption in this study was relatively high (94%) when compared to another Saudi study involving female university students (88.2%); however, the prevalence was relatively comparable to a Delhi study (97%) and a Serbian study (99%) that assessed adolescent participants [14][15][16].
