Abstract:
Objective To systematically explore influencing factors of internet addiction behaviors among junior school students across different grades from multiple dimensions.Methods This study enrolled all students from a junior high school in Wuhan.Annual questionnaire surveys were conducted from October 2021 to September 2024 to collect data on demographic characteristics,study and living situation,mental health,and internet addiction behaviors.Students were combined according to grade level during the survey period.An exposure-wide association analysis(ExWAS)strategy was employed to identify grade-specific influencing factors in each dimension of internet addiction.Results Common influencing factors across all three grades included academic interest(OR=0.45～0.50,95％CI:0.29～0.76)in the study dimension and living situation dimension and stress(OR=1.06,95％CI:1.03～1.10)in mental health dimension.Grade-specific influences of internet addiction existed in these two dimensions:In grade 7,the affinity with father(OR=0.97,95％CI:0.94～1.00),alcohol experimentation(OR=2.33,95％CI:1.54～3.53),and perpetrating bullying(OR=2.16,95％CI:1.04～4.49)were the main factors;In grade 8,mod-erate-to-high intensity physical activity(OR=0.50,95％CI:0.31～0.81),the affinity with father(OR=0.97,95％CI:0.94～1.00),bullying victimization(OR=2.32,95％CI:1.50～3.60),and anxiety symptoms(OR=2.01,95％CI:1.26～3.20)were the main factors;In grade 9,perpetrating bullying(OR=3.19,95％CI:1.31～7.78)and anxiety symptoms(OR=1.91,95％CI:1.18～3.10)were the main factors.Conclusion Influencing factors of internet addiction behaviors vary across grades in junior high school.Prevention and control strategies should incorporate grade-specific characteristics to implement targeted measures,thereby enhancing early identification capabilities and intervention effectiveness.
