Some critical misconceptions were identified despite the Jordanian public having sufficient overall knowledge.

We recommend that future efforts target the public understanding of the nature of the disease and its being non-communicable. Moreover, we emphasize that medical knowledge should be communicated through qualified healthcare providers.
