Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome is the reduction of symptoms of the digital media-related disorder (DMRD) assessed via the DMRD Test Battery for Adolescents and Parents via a difference score between screening/baseline and post-intervention (10-weeks post-baseline). It includes the Gaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents/ Parents (GADIS-A/-P), the Social Media Use Disorder Scale for Adolescents/ Parents (SOMEDIS-A/-P), and the Streaming Disorder Scale for Adolescents/ Parents (STREDIS-A/-P). All 10-item scales are identical except for the initial explanation and ongoing naming of the target digital medium (digital games, social media platforms, and video streaming services) and address either the potentially affected adolescent (self-rating version) or the respective parent (external-rating version). The entire test battery is based on the ICD-11 criteria of GD and was adapted accordingly for the related DMRD. All questionnaires were validated in large national representative samples of adolescents and parents and show reliable psychometric properties with good to excellent internal consistency, criterion validity, and discriminatory power. | — |
