Description
Yahya Khormi and fourteen co-authors surveyed in 2026 how ready the public in southern Saudi Arabia is to give first aid for neck spine injuries. Bad handling after crashes and falls can turn a survivable injury into paralysis. Nearly twelve hundred adults across four regions answered a validated online questionnaire.
The study compares what people know with what they would actually do at a roadside. That knowledge-practice gap is the target: a person may know a neck should stay still yet still move a victim. First aid campaigns can then aim at the doing, not only the knowing.
