To investigate the prevalence of pathological internet use (PIU) and maladaptive internet use (MIU) among adolescents in 11 European countries in relation to demographic, social factors and internet accessibility.
Design
Cross‐sectional survey.
Setting
The 7th Framework European Union (EU) funded project, Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE), is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating interventions for risk behaviours among adolescents in Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Romania, Slovenia and Spain, with Sweden serving as the coordinating centre.
Participants
A total of 11 956 adolescents (female/male: 6731/5225; mean age: 14.9 ± 0.89) recruited from randomly selected schools within the 11 study sites.
Measurements
Internet users were classified by gender into three categories: adaptive, maladaptive and pathological, based on their score in the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction (YDQ).
Findings
The overall prevalence of PIU was 4.4%; it was higher among males than females (5.2% versus 3.8%) and differed between countries (χ2 = 309.98; d.f. = 20; P |

Across a range of countries in Europe, using the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction yields a prevalence of ‘pathological internet use’ of 4.4% among adolescents, but varies by country and gender; adolescents lacking emotional and psychological support are at highest risk.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0965-2140</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1360-0443</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/j.1360-0443.2012.03946.x</identifier><identifier>PMID: 22621402</identifier><identifier>CODEN: ADICE5</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>Addiction ; Addictive behaviors ; Adolescent ; Adolescents ; Adult and adolescent clinical studies ; Behavior, Addictive - epidemiology ; Biological and medical sciences ; Cross-sectional analysis ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Demographics ; Drug addiction ; Drug addicts ; Europe ; Europe - epidemiology ; European Union ; Female ; Females ; France ; Humans ; Internet ; Internet - utilization ; internet addiction ; Italy ; Male ; Males ; Medical sciences ; mental health ; Metropolitan areas ; Miscellaneous ; Parents ; pathological internet use ; Pathology ; Prevalence ; Psychology.

To investigate the prevalence of pathological internet use (PIU) and maladaptive internet use (MIU) among adolescents in 11 European countries in relation to demographic, social factors and internet accessibility.
Design
Cross‐sectional survey.
Setting
The 7th Framework European Union (EU) funded project, Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE), is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating interventions for risk behaviours among adolescents in Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Romania, Slovenia and Spain, with Sweden serving as the coordinating centre.
Participants
A total of 11 956 adolescents (female/male: 6731/5225; mean age: 14.9 ± 0.89) recruited from randomly selected schools within the 11 study sites.
Measurements
Internet users were classified by gender into three categories: adaptive, maladaptive and pathological, based on their score in the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction (YDQ).
Findings
The overall prevalence of PIU was 4.4%; it was higher among males than females (5.2% versus 3.8%) and differed between countries (χ2 = 309.98; d.f. = 20; P < 0.001). PIU correlated significantly with mean hours online and male gender. The highest‐ranked online activities were watching videos, frequenting chatrooms and social networking; significantly higher rates of playing single‐user games were found in males and social networking in females. Living in metropolitan areas was associated with PIU. Students not living with a biological parent, low parental involvement and parental unemployment showed the highest relative risks of both MIU and PIU.
Conclusions
Across a range of countries in Europe, using the Young Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction yields a prevalence of ‘pathological internet use’ of 4.4% among adolescents, but varies by country and gender; adolescents lacking emotional and psychological support are at highest risk.</abstract><cop>Oxford</cop><pub>Blackwell Publishing Ltd</pub><pmid>22621402</pmid><doi>10.1111/j.1360-0443.2012.03946.x</doi><tpages>13</tpages><oa>free_for_read</oa></addata></record> |
