March 23, 2024 updated by: Mohammed Baqer Habeeb Abd Ali, University of Baghdad

Efficacy of a Stage-matched Intervention Based on Transtheoretical Model of Change in Changing the Digital Gaming Behavior Among Male High School Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A Stage-matched randomized controlled trial seeks to change the problematic digital gaming behavior among high school male students.

Detailed Description

The researchers will use two groups (study and control) in which participants will be randomly selected and assigned in each of the study and control groups using simple random sampling.

The study intervention will be designed based on each Stage of Change of the Transtheoretical Model of Change in that participants in each Stage of Change will receive the intervention that matches the Stage of Change they would be in.

A 12-week interval would be considered between administering the intervention and posttest 1 and the same interval would be used between posttest 1 and posttest 2.
