Summary

This study tested whether laughter yoga and health education could lower stress and reduce digital gaming habits in 68 adolescents aged 10-14. Participants received 12 sessions of laughter yoga over six weeks. The goal was to see if these fun, school-based activities could help teens cope with stress without turning to excessive gaming.
