“…Excluding adopters' individual capability to use the system and performance of technology to function properly, the service providers' capacity and capability to relentlessly monitor and feedback in a trusted manner is a prevalent condition for pursuing users to adopt any innovative systems from anywhere, anytime (Kumar, Kumar, Shareef, & Sharan, 2013;Peekhaus, 2008;Weerakkody, Janssen, & Dwivedi, 2011). The consumers concern for security, privacy, and reliability has a substantial contribution in conceiving this remote technology-driven system where a face-to-face encounter is absent (Gefen et al, 2003;Gelders et al, 2009;Lin & Wang, 2006;Mallat, 2007;O'Cass & Fenech, 2003;Pavlou & Fygenson, 2006). Thus, the construct facilitating conditions is perceived as a dominating determinant of behavioural intention of consumers for m-health, and formulated here as the degree to which an individual believes that an organisational and technical infrastructure and continuous trustworthy support system exists to support the use of the system continuously from any justified remote places with reliability.…”

a b s t r a c t Keywords:Mobile health (m-health) Adoption behaviour Consumer preference Consumer behaviour UTAUT model Cultural effect Which antecedents affect the adoption by users is still often a puzzle for policy-makers. Antecedents examined in this research include technological artefacts from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), consumer context from UTAUT2 and psychological behaviour concepts such as citizens' channel preference and product selection criteria. This research also investigated cultural domination on citizens' behavioural perception. The data for this study was collected among citizens from three countries: USA, Canada, and Bangladesh. The findings suggest that the UTAUT model could partially shape technology artefact behaviour and the extended UTAUT must consider specific determinants relevant to cognitive, affective, and conative or behavioural aspects of citizens. The model helps policy-makers to develop mobile healthcare service system that will be better accepted. The finding also suggests that this mobile service system should reflect a country's cultural traits. These findings basically extend the theoretical concept of UTAUT model to articulate adoption behaviour of any complex and sensitive ICT related issues like mobile healthcare system. Crown

“…This study examined Australian print media reporting of methamphetamine from 2014 to 2016, specifically in relation to how methamphetamine use was framed, the ways that people who use methamphetamine were positioned, purported consequences of methamphetamine use, as well as types of moral evaluation made about the use of the drug. Identifying the ways methamphetamine was framed in the media was considered important as media reporting has been demonstrated to affect community attitudes 5,37 and political decisions 38 and to potentially stigmatise people who use drugs. 6,8 Our analysis showed that 44.5% of media articles over the three-year period framed methamphetamine use as a crisis or emergency in the Australian community.…”

Objectives: To examine the representation and framing in Australian print media of methamphetamine and methamphetamine users from 2014 to 2016 when media attention was heightened around the National Ice Taskforce, including the implications of the coverage and framing in limiting public health responses to the problem. Methods: A quantitative media content analysis examined media portrayals of methamphetamine, including crystalline methamphetamine (also referred to by other names including 'crystal' or 'ice'), in 1,364 Australian print media articles published 2014-2016. Results: The largest number of articles about methamphetamine were published in 2015 with a higher proportion of these articles framed as a crisis than in other years. A crisis framing predominated media reporting across all years, with crime and legal consequences a key focus. Users were positioned predominantly as criminals, deviants or addicts. Conclusions: The coverage of methamphetamine in the Australian print media mostly serves to construct methamphetamine use as an urgent social problem, often framed from a legal perspective and associated with violent, dangerous, deviant and aggressive users. Implications for public health: Such reporting and stigmatisation of methamphetamine use can undermine public health policy responses and strategies, including early intervention and treatment and focused efforts directed at those most at risk of harm.

“…Unlike experts, who have the skills to analyse the potentiality of a particular risk, the general public must build their understanding and perception of risk through cultural practices and the media play a significant role in this process [24]. Media also impacts on public behaviour more broadly as media messages enter community discourse and build support for policies [57]. Those who have little contact with illicit drugs and illicit drug users, tend to shape their perception of risk and their behaviour around prominent portrayals in the media [57].…”

Media can influence audiences in four key ways: by setting the agenda and defining public interest; framing issues through selection and salience; indirectly shaping individual and community attitudes towards risk; and feeding into political debate and decision making. Each has relevance for the AOD field. For example, media coverage of the escalating heroin-related problems in Australia played a strong role in generating interest in heroin overdoses, framing public discourse in terms of a health and/or criminal issue and affecting political decisions. Implications AND CONCLUSION: Media coverage in relation to illicit drugs can have multifarious effects. Incorporating media communication theories into future research and actions is critical to facilitate understanding of the short- and long-term impacts of media coverage on illicit drugs and the avenues by which the AOD field can mitigate or inform future media debates on illicit drugs.
