The self-administered questionnaires used for gathering the data were a smartphone addiction survey and a mobile app rating scale on app-specific query assessing changes in awareness, knowledge, attitude, intention to change, health-seeking, and behavior change.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The questionnaire was completed by 316 participants (218 females, 98 males; mean: 20.7\u00b12.6 years; range, 16 to 35 years). One hundred forty-two (44.9%) of the respondents strongly agreed that the app improved awareness, while 143 (45.3%) strongly agreed that the app improved knowledge about the significance of addressing abnormal posture of the neck while using smartphones. One hundred thirty-two (41.8%) were of the opinion that the app could change participant attitudes, and 135 (42.7%) agreed that the app could increase intentions toward improving abnormal posture of the neck. One hundred eighteen (37.3%) participants agreed that the app could promote help-seeking for abnormal posture of the neck. Respondents\u2019 age had a negative weak correlation with intention to treat (r=\u20130.191, p=0.001) and help-seeking (r=\u20130.199, p=0.0001).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Most of the respondents in this study agreed that the CerviTech app could increase awareness, knowledge, attitude, intention to change, help-seeking, and behavior change of abnormal posture of the neck while using smartphones, with significant impact according to the age of the respondents regarding the intention to change and help-seeking behavior.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5606\/tftrd.2024.12392","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,27]],"date-time":"2024-05-27T08:03:21Z","timestamp":1716797001000},"page":"197-203","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Perceived impact of a smartphone application: Knowledge, awareness, attitudes, and intention to change an abnormal neck posture among smartphone-addicted undergraduates"],"prefix":"10.4274","volume":"70","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0262-6376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ashiyat","family":"Akodu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2617-6245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oluwafemi","family":"Ipinnimo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0993-5892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akinniyi","family":"Osuntoki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2811","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-1","unstructured":"Taylor P.
