Overview

Cross-sectional study finds 14% prevalence of internet gaming disorder in Thai adolescents, suggesting parental attachment influences risk.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of internet gaming disorder among Thai adolescents was found to be 14%, with males at 18.3% exhibiting higher rates.
  • Logistic regression indicated that playing online games over 18 hours a week significantly increased the odds of developing internet gaming disorder (OR 3.9).
  • Greater parental attachment, as measured by the IPPA-R, appeared crucial, with a one-point increase correlating with a lower likelihood of disorder (OR 0.9).
  • Finding higher risk in younger males emphasizes the need for preventative strategies focusing on strengthening parental bonds.
