Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is twofold: 1) to evaluate an Relaps Prevention(RP) treatment for Problematic Gaming (PG) and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) patients recruited from child and youth psychiatry (CAP) clinics and 2) to test whether the quality of parent-child relationships plays role in the effect of RP treatment and vice versa - whether the RP treatment has a spillover effect on the quality of parent-child relationships.


Description:

This study is a two-arm, parallel-group, single-blind, early-stage Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) with embedded qualitative components. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either intervention or control, with a total of 162 participants (81+81) in the trial. The primary outcomes are measures of gaming and gambling behavior pre- and post-intervention, and the secondary outcomes include child ratings of parent-child communication, including parental knowledge, control and solicitousness about child gaming, as well as child disclosure and secrecy related to gaming. Preliminary analyses will be conducted with regression analyses, paired sample t-tests and ANOVAs and performed in Mplus. In addition to the RCT, the study will be supplemented with a qualitative component with semi-structured individual interviews to capture participants' and clinicians' experiences of the treatment, as well as attitudes about parent-child relationships and parenting needs in carers whose children completed the RP treatment. The qualitative data will be analyzed with thematic analysis.

Intervention

Behavioral:
Relaps Preventions Therapy
The treatment consists of three parts: 1) setting goals, 2) understanding and identifying high-risk situations and problem behaviors, and 3) consolidating the new activity schedule and identifying future high-risk behaviors. The first part is focused on examining the patient's undesirable behavior, his/her motivation for change, and establishing goals with the. The second part, drawing more from traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, consists of exploring problematic situations, identifying high-risk situations and events, emotions and cognitions that induce the problematic gaming behavior or result in a relapse; managing game time with activity scheduling and practicing problem-solving skills. The final part consists of recognizing early warning signals that may indicate that the primary problem behavior is more likely to occur and consolidating the parts of the treatment that have been most helpful in maintaining the new activity schedule.
Treatment as usual
This group will receive treatment as usual at their Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic.
