The purpose of the present study is the investigation of the degree of awareness of the population in ALBaha region about sore throat. The population of the study consisted of residents of ALBaha region, Saudi Arabia; the sample included (110) individuals selected randomly. In order to achieve the main research objective, the study adopted a descriptive research design, and data were collected using questionnaire. The main finding of the study is that the degree of awareness of the population in ALBaha region about sore throat is low. This finding contradicts those obtained by similar studies that targeted the Saudi context. The finding may be attributable to that levels of awareness on sore throat in the Saudi society have increased in recent years due to increased attention by the Saudi Ministry of Health to the importance of launching health awareness campaigns. Recommendations of the study include that researchers conduct qualitative studies on perceptions of Saudis' in various regions of the country on the effectiveness of commonly implemented methods of sore throat management and that      local health institutions in ALBaha region organize all-year-round programs for raising awareness on how to prevent and treat sore throat at home.
