Abstract
Background: The demand for caffeine products is high, especially among students and staff at universities and colleges. This study aimed at describing the pattern of consumption of caffeine and its perceived effects among medical staff and students at AlMaarefa University for Science and Technology.
Methodology: The study followed an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study design. The data were collected from 374 staff and students at AlMaarefa University for Science and Technology, AlDiriyah, Saudi Arabia, by a self-administered questionnaire.
Results: Tea was consumed by 91% of the participants, followed by coffee and chocolate scoring 90% each. Chocolate and coffee were significantly more among students (p = 0.003 and p = 0.0029), respectively. Energy drinks were consumed by 35%, mainly students. The feelings after consuming caffeine were better mood, more energy, and alertness in 79%, 73%, and 71%, respectively. Acquiring more energy and a better mood was significantly higher among students than staff (p = 0.0005 and p = 0.0437), respectively. Headache, fatigue, craving, and restlessness were found in 42%, 39%, 36%, and 29%, respectively, when caffeine was not taken.
Conclusion: Tea, coffee, and chocolate were the most popular. Coffee was more popular among students. The use of energy drinks among students is worrisome.

Key words: Consumption, caffeine, perceived effect, staff, student
