Prevalence of co-morbid psychiatric disorders in those with gaming disorder.

You are invited to participate in an online survey on the Prevalence of Internet Gaming Disorder and the presence of co-morbid depressive, anxiety or substance misuse features in gaming communities across Ireland and the rest of the world.

This is a research project being conducted by Dr Gurjot Brar, Dr Caragh Nolan and Dr Narayanan Subramanian, doctors working in the Mid-West Mental Health Services, Ireland. 

It should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. We thank you for taking the time to participate in this study.

 
Your participation in this survey is completely voluntary. You may refuse to take part in the research by disagreeing to consent on the next page.

 
You will receive no direct benefits from participating in this research study. However, your responses may help us learn more about the prevalence of Internet Gaming Disorder and co-morbid depressive, anxiety or substance misuse features in gaming communities across Ireland and the rest of the world. This study would also shed light on which types of gaming/games are more likely to be linked with internet gaming disorder.

There are no foreseeable risks involved in participating in this study, although if you have any questions or concerns regarding your own mental health following participation, we encourage you to approach your family doctor (GP) or local mental health services immediately.

Your survey answers will be stored online in a password protected electronic format. Survey Monkey does not collect identifying information such as your name, email address, or IP address. Therefore, your responses will remain anonymous. No one will be able to identify you or your answers, and no one will know whether or not you participated in the study.
