BackgroundThe internet is an integral part of everyone’s life. College going adolescents are highly vulnerable to the misuse of the internet.AimsTo estimate the pooled prevalence of internet addiction (IA) among college students in India.MethodsLiterature databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, PsycINFO and Google Scholar) were searched for studies assessing IA using the Young Internet Addiction Test (Y-IAT) among adolescents from India, published in the English language up to December 2020. We included studies from 2010 to 2020 as this is the marked era of momentum in wireless internet connectivity in India. The methodological quality of each study was scored, and data were extracted from the published reports. Pooled prevalence was estimated using the fixed-effects model. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger’s test and visual inspection of the symmetry in funnel plots.ResultsFifty studies conducted in 19 states of India estimated the prevalence of IA and the overall prevalence of IA as 19.9% (95% CI: 19.3% to 20.5%) and 40.7% (95% CI: 38.7% to 42.8%) based on the Y-IAT cut-off scores of 50 and 40, respectively. The estimated prevalence of severe IA was significantly higher in the Y-IAT cut-off points of 70 than 80 (12.7% (95% CI: 11.2% to 14.3%) vs 4.6% (95% CI: 4.1% to 5.2%)). The sampling method and quality of included studies had a significant effect on the estimation of prevalence in which studies using non-probability sampling and low risk of bias (total quality score ≥7) reported lower prevalence. The overall quality of evidence was rated as ‘moderate’ based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation criteria.ConclusionsOur nationally representative data suggest that about 20% to 40% of college students in India are at risk for IA. There is a need for further research in the reconsideration of Y-IAT cut-off points among Indian college students.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020219511.

“…Feeling of being wired to gadgets can cause anxiety can result in case it is misplaced or if information or help is not available in a novel situation. Such concerns with depression and anxiety can affect one's emotional intelligence as well (Parvathy et al, 2020). Excessive use of digital devices can cause the increased dependency on it which can also lead to the individual feeling pressured to be connected to the device at all times.…”

The usage of digital gadgets for academic purposes has increased significantly after the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. Google Effect is also known as Digital Amnesia which can be stated as the tendency to forget what is being read on a digital gadget believing that they can refer to it whenever they are in need of it. College students were recruited through purposive sampling and screened based on checklist was developed for the study which was validated by experts in the field of psychiatry, neurology and clinical psychology. Cognitive functions were assessed using subtests of Weschler’s Memory Scale-lll. The DASS-21 was used to measure features of depression, anxiety and stress and EIS was also used to find the difference in emotional intelligence, t-test was used to analyze the significant difference between the two groups. Findings indicates that the students who had Google Effect had shown significant impairment in the cognitive tests of memory and learning compared to the group without Google Effect along with higher scores in depression, anxiety and stress and lower scores in emotional intelligence. This implies the need to bring awareness and interventions in limiting dependence on digital devices.
