Summary
This study tests a structured educational program for university students aged 18–24 who struggle with digital addiction. The program, led by an occupational therapist, teaches healthy technology use, time management, and awareness of screen habits. Researchers will measure changes in digital addiction and daily life balance in 50 participants. The goal is to see if this low-cost, non-drug approach can improve well-being.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a simple, non-drug way to help students manage screen time and improve their daily balance and well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is educational, not a treatment for addiction.
