Abstract
In a world where technology advances have affected human interactions and health, a new disorder known as “internet gaming disorder” (IGD) has been officially added to the DSM-5. Scientists from different academic fields have investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and consequences of IGD among many populations, but unfortunately, most of these investigations are focused on non-Hispanic communities with the exclusion of Spain. Because of the lack of information, there is a scientific and social need to create more IGD studies that focus on the Hispanic community in countries such as Puerto Rico in which IGD investigations are either lacking or in preliminary stages. For this reason, the aim of this study was to develop a meta-analysis of IGD in the Hispanic adolescent community to establish whether there is a prevalence of this disorder in this population and its effects on academic performance and social interactions.
