Internet addiction among MBBS students at a New Delhi medical college: Prevalence and determinants of a silent pandemic

CONCLUSION: IA is a prevalent public health concern among medical students in Delhi, with a majority of participants being addicted to some extent. Females showed a higher proportion of addiction compared to males. Certain internet activities, such as social networking and watching online videos, were significantly associated with IA. The study highlights the need for recognizing IA as a public health concern and further research to understand its impact on the youth. Longitudinal studies are recommended to observe the development and progression of IA over time.PMID:38605765 | PMC:PMC11006023 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1242_23
