简要总结
The investigators established a mobile-based early intervention on adolescent hazardous gaming and verified its effectiveness.
详细描述
Hazardous gaming is the precursor of gaming disorder. Early intervention on hazardous gaming is an effective strategy to prevent gaming disorder. Currently, there are few evidence-based early interventions, particularly the technology-based approaches with the advantage of user-friendliness. This study developed a mobile-based early intervention program based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for adolescent hazardous gaming. In order to verify the effectiveness of the intervention, adolescent participants were recruited and divided into two groups. The intervention group received the one-month intervention, while the control group did not. Both groups accepted the assessments at baseline and two months after the intervention. Comparative analysis was carried out between the two groups and two time points, primarily on the severity of gaming disorder, gaming hours, gaming frequency, anxiety, depression and self-esteem.

研究组 & 干预措施
the intervention group
The mobile-based early intervention on adolescent hazardous gaming was implemented through WeChat, a popular multipurpose social-networking app in China. The mini-program regularly delivered contents to the users' WeChat homepage, reminding them to timely complete the interventions. The completion status of the users was collected and sent to the backend intervention provider. The intervention group received the one-month intervention.
干预措施: the mobile-based early intervention (Behavioral)
the control group
The control group did not receive the intervention. Both two groups accepted the assessments at baseline and two months after the intervention.
