In this regard, this study aims to identify the role of online advertisements to spread Coivd-19 awareness and their capability to bring the attitudinal change. The researchers used an online survey for data gathering purposes and selected n= 480 local students from Jordan. Further to assess the measurement and conceptual model, the researchers used structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings indicated that “Information Sharing”, “Healthcare Advertising” and “Healthcare Awareness” are the strongest predictors in Digital Media Advertising regarding Covid-19 awareness. Therefore, the results affirmed the findings of the previous studies witnessing therole and effectiveness of digital media concerning healthcare awareness, especially during the healthcare crisis.
