description Stress continues to be a global burden. It may be thought of as necessary to human thriving; however, challenging and unfavorable functioning may take place when many significant stressors are imposed repetitively or concurrently without resolve. Research suggests that medical students perceive higher levels of stress than students in other health-related disciplines [1–3]. Since caffeine is a psychoactive substance that stimulates the central nervous system, medical students use to consume it more than other students to overcome the stress they face due to studying. The paucity of knowledge regarding the trends of caffeine consumption among medical students in developed countries and especially in Lebanon has encouraged us to examine the relationship between caffeine addiction and stress among Lebanese medical students in Lebanon. A non-experimental cross-sectional correlational design was employed to gather data from a sample of 800 medical students enrolled in different studying years in different Lebanese universities. Well-established psychometric instruments were used in primary data collection method, which are the Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ) and the Caffeine Consumption and Dependence Scale. The analyzed data is provided in the tables included in this article.
