Overview

Systematic review shows health education significantly reduces internet addiction and internet use time in adolescents, indicating the importance of interventions and parental support.

Key Points

  • Health education effectively reduces internet addiction among adolescents, promoting healthier internet use patterns.
  • The meta-analysis demonstrated a large effect size of -1.88 for health education on internet addiction.
  • Study settings were primarily educational, with a focus on self-regulation and parental involvement in interventions.
  • Evidence on social media addiction remains limited, highlighting a need for further research on this topic.
