Abstract Purpose of Review The early detection problematic Internet use (PIU) is essential to prevent the development disorders (IUD). Although a variety screening tools have already been developed and validated for this purpose, yet consensus about optimal IUD assessment still lacking. In systematic review, we (i) describe identified instruments children adolescents, (ii) critically examine their psychometric properties, (iii) derive recommendations particularly well-validated instruments. Recent Findings We conducted literature search in five databases on January 15, 2024. Of initial 11,408 references identified, 511 studies were subjected full-text analysis resulting final inclusion 70 studies. These total 31 PIU IUD, including Diagnostic Interview Addiction (DIA), semi-structured interview. terms validation frequency, Addition Test (IAT) had largest evidence base, followed by Compulsive Use Scale (CIUS). Only two measures examined based current DSM-5 criteria Gaming Disorder. Summary no instrument was found be clearly superior, strongest recommendation can made CIUS, Generalized Problematic (GPIUS2). Overall, quality included only rated as moderate. research field would benefit from clear cut-off scores clinical (screening)

Background and aims Children have been vastly overlooked in Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) Hazardous research so far. The diagnoses are listed different ICD-11 chapters (addiction vs. problematic health condition) thus considered as distinct constructs. However, screening tools for children do not exist yet. We aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of an existing IGD tool modified also assess children. Further, we compare dissimilarity overlap between (subclinical) Methods study analyzed data from a mixed school clinical sample. Data N = 871 aged 8 12 years age ( M 10.3, SD 0.90) were analyzed. collected via Video Game Dependency Scale (CSAS) its parent report version, which was adapted symptoms addition symptoms. Item analyses reliability factor conducted on version. Results results show that CSAS version assesses mostly shows acceptable properties. Explorative Factor Analysis (EFA) two-factor structure with one higher order. Additionally, 35.2% all meeting threshold exclusively meet criteria but IGD. Vice versa, 91.3% Gaming.
