Stigma in substance-based and behavioural addictions
Psychological consequences of school mobile phone bans
Evidence on the psychological effects of mobile phone bans policies in schools remains limited. This study estimated the effect of a mobile phone ban policy on adolescents’ 1) psychological distress and 2) mood. We conducted a secondary analysis of a natural experiment using an emulated trial framework to examine the effects of a mobile phone ban implemented in Australian schools in 2023 (n = 1062). The exposure was a school-wide mobile phone ban…

We call for more independent studies to evaluate the potential development…

Some symptoms, such as preoccupation and tolerance, are frequently reported by highly engaged but non-problematic gamers, and therefore these symptoms are thought to lack specificity and are suggested to be less important in classification decisions. We argue that…
