Definition of Terms

: mHealth: mHealth is a term that describes the use of wireless technology and mobile devices for medical care.Youth: In this study, the term “youth” refers to people who are within the age range of 18 and 35.PLS-SEM: The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is a statistical method that helps determine cause-effect relationships.UTAUT: The unified theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is a theoretical framework used in the field of Information Systems (IS) to explain user intentions to use an information system and subsequent usage behaviour.Self-Healthcare Monitoring: Self-Healthcare Monitoring refers to the use of mobile applications and wearable devices to monitor and manage one’s health.Heterotrait-Monotrait Ratio (HTMT): HTMT is a statistical technique used to measure discriminant validity in Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling.Convergent validity: Convergent validity helps determine whether measures of a construct are related.Discriminant validity: Discriminant validity helps to determine whether measures that should not be related are indeed not related.Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR): Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) helps ascertain the mean size of residual correlations.The Coefficient of Determination (R2): R2 helps determine the variation (s) within the dependent variable caused by independent variables.Average Variance Extracted (AVE): The AVE helps to estimate, on average, the proportion of variation in a construct’s items can be explained by the construct or latent variable.Path coefficient (β): In PLS-SEM, path coefficient (β) helps determine how an independent variable affects a dependent variable in the path model.
