Predicting Problematic Internet Use
Daniel Visscher, Emilie Wiesner, Aaron Weinberg
Internet use has been identified by researchers as having the potential to rise to the level of addiction, with associated increased rates of anxiety and depression. Identifying cases of problematic internet usage currently requires evaluation by an expert, however, which is a significant impediment to screening children and adolescents across society. One potential solution is to rely on data that is more easily and uniformly collected: the kind collected by a family physician, a simple survey, or by a smartwatch. The research question this project sets out to answer is: “Can we predict the level of problematic internet usage exhibited by children and adolescents, based on their physical activity and survey responses?”
