Gaming Disorder Test validated for Arabic-speaking young adults

Original: Our latest study investigated the psychometric properties of the Gaming Disorder Test (GDT) in an Arabic-speaking sample

Researchers have published a new study examining how well the Gaming Disorder Test (GDT) performs in an Arabic-speaking sample of young adults, assessing its psychometric properties. The work, carried out with Dr. Haitham Jahrami and colleagues, is available open access. The findings matter for clinicians and researchers in Arabic-speaking countries who need a validated screening tool for problematic gaming, a condition recognised by the WHO.

Why now: Gaming disorder screening is a growing public health concern, and validated tools for Arabic speakers have been lacking.
