a popular activity, among young adults (YA). However, research
suggests that excessive engagement may in extreme cases lead to
symptoms commonly experienced by substance addicts.
Aims Estimate the prevalence of problematic use of video and
Internet games (PUVIG) among YA. Determine the factors associ-
ated with it.
Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out during the first
half of September 2016. A sample of 69 YA with a high educa-
tion’s level was randomly selected from the general population.
Data were collected through a global questionnaire consisted of
a sociodemographic part, the Young Internet Addiction Test, the
Problem Video Game playing questionnaire, online network game
scale and the Perceived Stress Scale.
Results The average age was 27.6 years. The majority (70%)
reported using video or Internet games. The risk of dependency
to online network games involved 10% of game players while
the presence of video games use consequences concerning 16%.
Gaming addiction was significantly more likely in boys (P = 0.001).
The students had more PUVIG than employees (P = 0.036). A link
was highlighted with a problematic Internet use (P= 0.008), a
facebook addiction (P = 0.001) and high perceived stress level
(0.014).
Conclusions Playing video and Internet games is a widespread
activity among YA. The factors potentially involved are inevitably
multiple and complex. It supports the need to carefully explore
these emerging practices among this vulnerable population and
suggest the establishment of better prevention and better tracking
of video gaming.

Introduction Adolescents’ Internet gaming disorders might influ-
ence on their social and psychological developmental tasks and
physical health negatively. Depression is the commonly co-existed
conditions with addictive Internet gaming, but not much research
has been reported whether depressive symptoms would precede
the addictive Internet gaming in this population.
Objectives This prospective observation study was performed to
make clear whether adolescents’ depressive symptoms precede
their addictive Internet gaming.
Aims Adolescents’ 1-year incidence of the addictive Internet
gaming was calculated, and test their depressive symptoms
increase the incidence.
Methods In Korea, whole students of the 1st grade in three mid-
dle schools were participated in this study. Baseline assessment of
508 students was performed via standardized self-reported ques-
tionnaire on May–June, 2015. Internet game use-elicited symptom
screen (IGUESS) was used to addictive Internet gaming conditions.
IGUESS is the 9-itemedDSM-5 diagnostic criteria-based instrument
to screen high risk of Internet gaming disorders. Depressive symp-
toms was measured by Child Depression Inventory (CDI) group.
One year after the baseline assessment, follow-up assessment was
performed. Four hundred and forty-eight students have been par-
ticipated in the 1-year check up without addictive Internet gaming
at baseline.
Results In total, 4.7% of subjects had depressive symptoms at
baseline, and incidence of addictive Internet gaming was 9.2%.
After adjusted by sex, Internet game use per week, and self-control
status, depressive symptoms of baseline increased the 1-year
incidence of addictive Internet gaming significantly (OR = 3.5,
P = 0.034).
Conclusions Depressive adolescents have higher possibility they
could experience the addictive Internet gaming.

Background Psychiatric co-morbidities and alcohol craving are
known contributors to differences in alcohol consumptionpatterns.
Methods Univariate and multivariable linear regression models
were used to examine the association and interactions between
the Inventory of Drug Taking Situations (IDTS) negative, positive
and temptation sub-scale scores, sex, as well as co-morbid depres-
sion and anxiety determined by Psychiatric Research Interview of
Substance and Mood Disorders (PRISM) with alcohol consumption
measured by Time Line Follow Back (TLFB) during preceding 90
days in 287 males and 156 females meeting DSM-IV criteria for
alcohol dependence.
Results IDTS positive, negative and temptation scores were
strongly associated with increased alcohol consumption measures
including the number of drinks per day and number of drinking
days per week (P < 0.0001). Male sex was associated with higher
amount of alcohol consumption per drinking day (P < 0.001), but
not with the number of drinking days per week (P > 0.05). In men,
lifetime history of depression was associated with fewer drinking
days (P = 0.0084) and fewer hazardous drinking days (P = 0.0214)
but not with differences in daily alcohol consumption. In women,
depression history was not significantly associated with alcohol
consumption measures. Post-hoc sex-stratified analyses suggested
that the association of the negative IDTS score with total amount
of alcohol consumed by men may be modified (decreased) by
lifetime depression history. We found no associations of alco-
hol consumption measures with anxiety or substance-induced
depression.
Discussion Decreased frequency of drinking in male alcoholics
with lifetime depression history is unexpected. This finding
emphasizes the complex relationships between alcoholism and
depression, which require further investigation.
