简要总结
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of an m-health intervention on reducing smartphone screen time among young adults (18–24 years) in an urban Delhi community. A total of 180 participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: an intervention group receiving weekly behaviour-change messages and a control group receiving general wellness messages for eight weeks. Baseline and post-intervention assessments will measure screen time, anxiety (GAD-7), and problematic smartphone use (SAS-SV). The study aims to determine changes in mean screen time, anxiety levels, and smartphone addiction while ensuring ethical conduct, confidentiality, and informed consent throughout
