Abstract
The present study aimed to show the change in the prevalence of internet addiction detected among high school students from data collected in 2012 to that collected in 2016. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 13 high schools in 2016. The prevalence of internet addiction in 2012 and 2016 was compared using the Z-test. The risk factors for internet addiction were determined using Binary Logistic Regression analysis. The study population consisted of 1061 students, 531 of which were female (50.1%). Of the 1061 students, 234 (22.1%) had an internet addiction (18.9% in males, 25.2% in females, p<0.05). In comparison with the data collected in 2012, the prevalence of internet addiction in male students had not changed in the four years, while it had changed dramatically in female students (p<0.001). Internet addiction was influenced 1.76 times by female students, 2.08 times by gaming, and 1.4 times by an increase in online applications. Internet addiction among high school students increased from 2012 to 2016 in the evaluated schools. The main factor for this is the increase in the internet addictionin female students.
