The reported nature and extent of Internet gaming varies widely, as does the extent of its effects. Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of IGD and factors associated with it. Methods: After institution ethics approval, individual assent, and parental consent, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 142 students of a school in western Maharashtra. A specially designed sociodemographic pro forma and IGD Scale were administered to the students. Data thus generated were statistically analyzed and compared with published literature. Results: The prevalence of IGD was 10.6% among 13–19-year-old students. It was significantly higher among male students (15.3%) than female students (3.5%). Multivariate logistic regression found IGD to be significantly associated with male gender and lower age at first gameplay. Conclusions: IGD affects a tenth of our schoolgoing population with a male preponderance. Lower age at first gameplay had an adverse association.Yujal Man SinghJyoti PrakashKaushik ChatterjeeBharat KhadkaAyushma ShahVinay Singh ChauhanWolters Kluwer Medknow Publicationsarticleinternet gaming disorderprevalencerisk factorsPsychiatryRC435-571Industrial psychologyHF5548.7-5548.85ENIndustrial Psychiatry Journal, Vol 30, Iss 3, Pp 172-177 (2021) |
