Abstract

This paper describes perceptions of familiarity with symptoms and beliefs about illnesses based on interviews with 50 Saudi women. The sample was young, with 82% under the age of 40, and not well educated by Western standards, with one-third being illiterate and 80% having no more than a primary school education. More than half lived in households of six or more. Although there was greater awareness of germs as causative factors in illness than previous studies in Saudi Arabia had demonstrated, beliefs in multiple causes, including religious beliefs about disease causation, persisted. There was an apparent lack of understanding of specific causes of various illnesses or of the rationale for preventive measures. This lack of understanding may be related to the low education levels and/or deeply ingrained cultural beliefs.

Abstract

Many Saudi Arabians believe that Crown Prince Abdullah should be made King following his brief experience at leadership when King Fahd was ill during the early months of 1996. He is well liked and exhibits characteristics such as piety, modesty and honesty which are admired by the people. At 75 King Fahd is two years his senior and doesn't reside at the Riyadh capital. Abdullah is better equiped to defend the House of Saud from illegitimacy claims than Fahd.
