Sleep Quality as a Mediator of Internet Gaming Disorder and Executive Dysfunction in Adolescents: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

Sleep Quality as a Mediator of Internet Gaming Disorder and Executive Dysfunction in Adolescents: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

A meta-analysis exploring rates of IGD indicated a global pooled prevalence of 4.6% [6], with other studies estimating prevalence rates of 1.16%‐3.5% in German adolescents [7,8], 3.6%‐9.4% in North American samples [9,10], and 2.8%‐3.1% in Australian teenagers elevated under the COVID-19 pandemic [11-13].

French Versions of 2 English Questionnaires on Problematic Digital Use Assessed by Adolescents and Their Parents: Cross-Cultural Linguistic Translation and Adaptation Study

Whereas most questionnaires measure specific device use (eg, smartphone) [13,15,16], this study aims to better measure PDU in the French adolescent population by linguistically translating 2 questionnaires: the DASC, administered to adolescents, and the PMUM, administered to parents of adolescents. The translation process was carried out using the “forward and backward” method.

Children and adolescents in the United States aged 3-17 years are experiencing record levels of mental and behavioral health issues such as anxiety, depression, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which can contribute to increased stress, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and overall strain on family well-being [1,2].

Expanding the Discussion on Internet Addiction and Suicide Risk in Adolescents

Expanding the Discussion on Internet Addiction and Suicide Risk in Adolescents

I have read with immense interest the article published by Li and colleagues [1] entitled “The Association Between Internet Addiction and the Risk of Suicide Attempts in Chinese Adolescents Aged 11-17 Years: Prospective Cohort Study.” The authors’ efforts to explore the association between internet addiction and suicide attempts among Chinese adolescents are commendable, as they address mental health issues in the landscape of increasing internet use among youth.

Longitudinal Network Relationships Between Symptoms of Deviant Peer Affiliation and Internet Gaming Disorder in Adolescents: Prospective Cohort Study

Longitudinal Network Relationships Between Symptoms of Deviant Peer Affiliation and Internet Gaming Disorder in Adolescents: Prospective Cohort Study

Adolescents with IGD may experience weakened connections to mainstream peer groups, increasing the likelihood of affiliating with deviant peers. Through homophily selection, individuals tend to associate with peers who share similar behavioral patterns, reinforcing IGD-related behaviors [14-17]. Meanwhile, default selection occurs when adolescents join deviant peer groups due to limited social alternatives, further intensifying problematic gaming behaviors [18,19].

Digital Mental Health Interventions for the Prevention and Treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Digital Mental Health Interventions for the Prevention and Treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

However, other studies found no difference between SAD-specific and transdiagnostic anxiety interventions for children and adolescents with SAD [55,56]. Thus, it would be relevant to compare the effects of DMHIs that specifically target SAD and those that target anxiety disorders in general. To the best of our knowledge, no systematic review and meta-analysis has investigated the effect of DMHIs on social anxiety in children and adolescents specifically.

The Reciprocal Relationship Between Parental eHealth Literacy Mediation and Adolescents’ eHealth Literacy: Three-Wave Longitudinal Study

The Reciprocal Relationship Between Parental eHealth Literacy Mediation and Adolescents’ eHealth Literacy: Three-Wave Longitudinal Study

The online environment provides adolescents with unprecedented access to a wide range of information, including content related to health [1]. As frequent users of digital media, adolescents increasingly turn to online sources to inform their health-related decisions [2]. While this access can be empowering, it also carries risks. For instance, adolescents may encounter health information that is false, misleading, or even harmful, with potentially serious consequences [3].
