“…Also the current study found that IA was higher in Saudi group than the Egyptian one where the Saudi students, 27.4% and 11.3% of their mothers who are graduates and postgraduates level of education, compared to 18.1% and 3.6% in Egyptian one (see table 2). This result is consistent with Tekkant and Topalglu (2015) [57] and Koyuncu et al (2014) [54] while inconsistent with Malak et al (2017).

“…The previous result in contrary with Tekkant & Topalglu (2015), [57] results that reflected higher IA in students whose fathers were primary-secondary school graduates.

Using of the internet today is a growing part of any society. Teenagers are the most users of the internet at their home and/or school. Therefore, it changes their daily lives in terms of physical, social, and psychological status that may exaggerated to be an internet addiction disorder or a physical problem. The aim of the study was to recognize the effects of excessive internet use in Saudi and Egyptian teenagers' health. The design used to conduct the present study was a descriptive correlation design, a convenient sample of 668 teenagers who were recruited from intermediate and secondary school from both countries, 331 teenagers from King Saudi Arabia (KSA) and 337 from Arab Republic of Egypt (ARE). Three tools were used for data collection: the first one was a questionnaire including demographic background of the participants and their families. The second was Internet Addiction Test (IAT) Young (1998) and the third pain rating scale to assess the intensity of musculoskeletal pain that encountered by the students. Results show that 86.6% of KSA teenagers used the internet daily compared to 69.6% in ARE. Regarding internet addiction, in teenagers, 0.9% were severe, 45.3% moderate and 47.7% mild compared to 0.3%, 46.3% and 44.2% in ARE one, 67.3% of KSA teenagers have musculoskeletal pain with internet usage compared to 74.3% in ARE teenagers. No significant relation was found between both groups in relation to internet addiction. A significant relations were found in Saudi students' socio-demographic data and their level of internet addiction in the area of academic level (p ≤ .001), and level of academic achievement (p = .037). No significant relation was found in the same area for Egyptian students. The researchers suggest further studies to be conducted in this field on larger sample size for both genders to identify the other factors related to excessive internet use.

“…As far as the association between the father's educational level and the IA level is concerned, this study suggests that students' whose fathers have higher education degrees tend to be less addicted. This result is supported by previous findings reported by So Young Kim (Kim et al, 2017) but inconsistent with other findings (Lam et al, 2009;Malak et al, 2017;Tekkant & Topaloglu, 2015). This association might mean that educated parents are more likely to be aware of the risks associated with their children's Internet use than their peers who have lower educational levels and hence less awareness of the risks associated with excessive Internet use.…”

There is a growing interest in research on the potential effects of Internet addiction [IA] on students' scholastic lives. Given that there is no research on this subject in Morocco, this cross-sectional study fills the gap by examining the prevalence of Internet Addiction among Moroccan high school students and its possible association with scholastic performance and other socio-demographic factors. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 305 students, consisting of sociodemographic questions and Young's Internet Addiction Scale. Chi-square, Independent sample t-tests, and One-Way ANOVA tests were conducted. This quantitative study reveals that IA prevalence among Moroccan high school students is 15.80%. Poor academic performance, being female, having a computer and Internet access, spending excessive time online and having parents with low educational level have been found to be associated with severe Internet addiction. These findings suggest that more research should focus on risk factors associated with Internet addiction to formulate proper preventive measures.

“…Results revealed that young users and nightly users are more at-risk subjects for Internet addiction disorder, diminishing their individual quality of life and disabling their time control [15]. Tekkanat and Topaloglu, (2015), investigated whether the high school students are IA by the effects of the developing technology. Their results showed that the Internet use is directly related to the behavior rather than the education level of the parents.…”

“…Their results showed that the Internet use is directly related to the behavior rather than the education level of the parents. Also growing the number of facilities for easy access to the Internet can lead to IA; and instead students that do not think about the Internet during their daily tasks and prefer to spend time outside with their friends is a positive factor in terms of decreasing the IA level [16]. Through these studies, it is commonly acknowledged that Internet use can be problematic; thus we adopt the concept of problematic Internet use and take a first step towards automatically detecting it with actual Internet usage.…”

The Internet is one of the most influential new communications technologies that have been affected both social and health aspects of users' lives. Despite many advantages and its positive pointes in communication, the excessive use of Internet make a serious danger that has adverse impacts on overall health. The inability of individuals to control the Internet use has been defined as Internet Addiction (IA). There are a lot of studies on IA over the topics of diagnosis, phenomenology, epidemiology, and treatment based on statistical analysis, but a few research works are conducted by machine learning techniques. So our research focuses on diagnosing and counseling to prevent IA by developing prediction models based on ensemble method with machine learning algorithms and finding the most important risk factors in diagnosing the status of users' IA. Experiment results demonstrate that this hybrid machine learning model by considering students field and location along with items 1, 3, 4, 5,10,12,14,15,19,20 from Internet Addiction Test (IAT) as the most important risk factors can identify the status of users' IA with 99.75% accuracy attains a performance superior to traditional single classifier systems.
