ABSTRACT
Gadget use among Indonesian adolescents is becoming more prevalent. Most Indonesian families own smartphones for various uses including for accessing the internet. Gadget and internet use has sharply increased during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study therefore reports a short awareness raising method on gadget addiction among adolescents and how to prevent it. Awareness raising session was held online for students of junior and senior high school students in Banyuwangi District. Socialization materials were given in the form of 20 minute lecture and a 2 minute and 19 second short animation video. Knowledge improvement was calculated from a pre-socialization and post socialization test scores and analysed using paired t-test. Participants were also asked to evaluate the impact of the socialization on providing new information and understanding of the issues. Online socialization can improve knowledge on 66.7% of the students with an average score improvement of 1.55±1.81 poin (p<0.0001). Participants stated that the socialization was well executed. Most students (85.5%) agreed to highly agreed that the socialization provided them with new information and 87.1% of students agreed to highly agreed that they understood the materials. Therefore, short online socialization through presentation and short video can improve the knowledge and understanding of gadget addiction among adolescents.
