Based on the socially-based intergenerational transmission theories, parental IGD may increase the risk of adolescent IGD directly and indirectly. Objectives The primary objective is to test the longitudinal association between parental IGD and adolescent IGD, after controlling for covariates at personal, interpersonal and familial levels Subjects and methods This study is a two-year 3-wave longitudinal study. Adolescents will be recruited from Secondary schools using stratified random sampling method. One parent of each adolescent will be invited. Students will finish a set of validated psychological scales in class-room settings, while parents will finish their questionnaires through telephone interviews at Time1, Time2, and Time3. Outcomes and measures The primary outcome is adolescent IGD symptoms based on DSM-5 IGD symptoms checklist. The secondary outcomes include time spent on Internet-related activities including gaming and gaming attitudes of adolescents.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
