However, adoption utilization these by affected populace has a daunting task. Therefore, this study carried out exploratory investigation factors influencing behavioural intention (BI) people accept tackling (CDTT) using UTAUT (Unified Theory Acceptance Use Technology) framework. The applied principal components analysis multiple regression for hypotheses testing. revealed that performance expectancy (PE), facilitating conditions (FC) social influence (SI) are best predictors people's BI CDTT. Also, organizational benefit (OIB) government benefits (GEB) BI. variables such as age, gender voluntariness use CDTT no significance because is still nascent not easily accessible. results show decision-makers regulators should consider inciting PE, FC, SI, OIB GEB, motivate acceptance Furthermore, must be sensitized availability in all communities. path diagram hypothesis testing use, will help private organizations planning responding digitalization protective measures hence revise health protection regulation.
