First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a 4-week school program to help teens aged 10-14 who were at high risk for digital game addiction. The program taught self-control, goal setting, and time management through classroom sessions. Researchers compared 110 students from two schools—one group got the program, the other did not—to see if it reduced gaming addiction and sleep problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- School-based self-regulation program (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer schools a simple, low-cost way to help teens cut down on excessive gaming and improve their sleep.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 110 participants from two schools, so results may not apply to all teens. The program is short (4 weeks) and long-term effects are unknown.
