“…Among the several researchers who had used the IGDT-10 to investigate the prevalence of IGD, Kir aly et al reported that 2.9% of adolescent and adult gamers were suspected to have IGD (IGDT-10 ≥ 5), 22 whereas Chiu et al reported that 3.1% adolescent gamers were suspected to have IGD (IGDT-10 ≥ 5). 26 After conducting an online survey for adult gamers, Kir aly et al reported IGD prevalence rates (IGDT-10 ≥ 5) of 4.24% and 2.62% among males and females, respectively. 27 Our prevalence rates for suspected IGD were lower than those of previous reports.…”

Background: Some studies have revealed that a substantial proportion of the younger population has engaged in problematic gaming with even infants recently being able to enjoy video games. However, the relationship between the risk for problematic gaming and age at which habitual gaming starts remains unknown. This study therefore investigated this relationship among adolescents. Methods: A survey was conducted at eight public junior high schools across Japan. The questionnaire included items regarding the background, night-time sleep, age at which weekly gaming began, time spent on the Internet and gaming, the Japanese version of Young's Diagnostic Questionnaire, the Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10), and others. We analyzed 549 participants who engaged in weekly gaming and have played games during the past year. Results: Among the participants, 1.8% were suspected to have Internet gaming disorder (IGDT-10 ≥ 5). Bedtime and wake-up time on weekdays and holidays were significantly later among problematic gamers (IGDT-10 ≥ 3) than among normal gamers (IGDT-10 ≤ 2). Onset of weekly gaming before the age of 5 was associated with a significantly higher risk of problematic gaming than onset of weekly gaming after the age of 10. Conclusions: Our results revealed that the risk for problematic gaming was positively associated with a younger age at which weekly gaming begins. Longitudinal problematic gaming prevention, starting from an early stage, is thus necessary.

“…Among middle and high school students in Japan, prevalence was 7.9% for problematic internet use and 15.9% for adaptive internet use, a lower cutoff of the diagnostic questionnaire [ 34 ]. In rural Thailand, 5.4% reached the cutoff for IGD [ 35 ], and in Taiwan 3.1% met that threshold [ 17 ]. Among 2666 urban middle school children in China, prevalence of IGD was 13.0% [ 36 ].…”

“…Some early testing utilized an interview procedure to confirm a 5-symptom cutoff for IGD, although a cutoff of 4 was adequate for differentiating between those suffering from IGD and healthy controls [13]. Scales such as the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale and its short form as well as the Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGDT-10) have been designed and tested demonstrating that fairly short (e.g., 9 or 10 items) assessments can demonstrate strong psychometric properties, support the defined cutoff of 5 symptoms, and successfully measure a single construct [14][15][16][17]. Testing has been done on other assessment tools that are aligned with the IGD criteria including the Clinical Video Game Addiction Test which provided further support for the 5-item cutoff diagnosis [18] and the Chen Internet Addiction Scale-Gaming Version which identified its own cutoff [19].…”

Purpose of Review This review describes recent research findings and contemporary viewpoints regarding internet addiction in adolescents including its nomenclature, prevalence, potential determinants, comorbid disorders, and treatment. Recent Findings Prevalence studies show findings that are disparate by location and vary widely by definitions being used. Impulsivity, aggression, and neuroticism potentially predispose youth to internet addiction. Cognitive behavioral therapy and medications that treat commonly co-occurring mental health problems including depression and ADHD hold considerable clinical promise for internet addiction. Summary The inclusion of internet gaming disorder in the DSM-5 and the ICD-11 has prompted considerable work demonstrating the validity of these diagnostic approaches. However, there is also a movement for a conceptualization of the disorder that captures a broader range of media-use behaviors beyond only gaming. Efforts to resolve these approaches are necessary in order to standardize definitions and clinical approaches. Future work should focus on clinical investigations of treatments, especially in the USA, and longitudinal studies of the disorder's etiology.

“…Internet gaming disorder (IGD) was included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) because of its public health importance. Its global prevalence ranges between 0.5% and 6% [1,2,3]. Based on clinical evidence and in the interests of public health [4], gaming disorder (GD) was also recently included in the International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11) [5].…”

“…Király developed another widely used measure, the Ten-Item Gaming Disorder Test, which proved to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing IGD based on DSM-5 criteria [12]. Using the Ten-Item Internet Gaming Disorder Test, Chiu et al reported that the prevalence of IGD among adolescents was 3.1% [2]. That ass the only study to determine the cutoff point based on diagnostic interviewing.…”

Objectives: The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) includes the diagnostic criteria for Internet gaming disorder (IGD). This study evaluated (1) the screening, diagnostic, and prevalence-estimated cutoff points of the Chen Internet Addiction Scale–Gaming Version (CIAS-G) for IGD in the DSM-5; and (2) the differences in the CIAS-G and subscale scores among individuals with IGD, regular gamers (RGs), and other control subjects. Methods: We recruited 69 participants with IGD, 69 RGs, and 69 healthy participants based on diagnostic interviews conducted by a psychiatrist according to DSM-5 IGD criteria. All participants completed the CIAS-G and were assessed using the clinical global impression scale. Results: The optimal screening and diagnostic cutoff points were 68 or more (sensitivity, 97.1%; specificity, 76.8%) and 72 or more (sensitivity, 85.5%; specificity, 87.0%) for IGD based on DSM-5 criteria, respectively. The 76 or more cutoff point had the highest number needed to misdiagnose and was the optimal prevalence estimated cutoff point. Conclusions: The screening cutoff point could be used to identify individuals with IGD for further diagnostic interviewing to confirm the diagnosis in the clinical setting or for two-stage epidemiological evaluation. The diagnostic cutoff point provides a provisional diagnosis of IGD when diagnostic interviewing is unavailable. The prevalence-estimated cutoff point could be used to estimate the prevalence of IGD in large-scale epidemiological investigations when further diagnostic interviewing is impractical. The clinical and epidemiological utility of CIAS-G warrants further study.
