Summary

This trial tests whether a four-week, nurse-led health education program can reduce digital game addiction and encourage healthier behaviors in adolescents. About 160 teens who play digital games will take part, with some receiving the program and others not. The program covers topics like balanced tech use, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and stress management. Researchers will measure changes in gaming addiction and health-promoting behaviors using standard questionnaires.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A four-week school-based health education program delivered by a nurse, covering digital game addiction, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and health responsibility.
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a simple, low-cost way for schools to help teens cut down on excessive gaming and adopt healthier daily habits.
What could go wrong
This is a single-school trial, so results may not apply broadly. The program is short and relies on self-reported scales, which may not capture real-world change or lasting effects.
