Abstract

Upwards of 2.1 million US adolescents may be experiencing disordered interactive media use resulting in severe consequences to their social functioning, cognitive abilities, and mental wellness. There is a growing need to identify and care for youth at-risk for Problematic Interactive Media Use (PIMU). Little is known about this population as clinical samples have not been examined in the US. By investigating behavioral and functioning patterns of PIMU patients and examining how they differ from national standardized norms, we can determine recurring and dominant characteristics that distinguish them from their peers.
