About

The manuscript describes the level of knowledge and awareness about Inflammatory Articular Diseases in a Syrian population. we found that awareness of Inflammatory Articular Diseases is mostly bad and very bad in our sample. Also, we showed how the level of awareness changes due to the change of many factors such as (sex, age, residency, education, marital status, and others ).

Our community-based survey was the first conducted in Syria. we have included a total of 641 participants who were directed to the first part of the survey to complete questions around socio-demographic data and awareness questions about Inflammatory Articular Diseases. We ranked our participants into five levels: excellent, good, average, bad, and very bad.

Finally, we compared our results with other 4 original published studies, and we found many Boolean points of similarity and many other inspiring points of difference.
