This brief parent-report screener helps identify behaviors consistent with problematic computer use in primary school–age children. Computer Addiction Assessment for Primary School Children is intended for an initial check of whether computer use may be exceeding developmentally appropriate limits.
Developed by Kimberly S. Young, it consists of 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Responses can support clinical discussion by highlighting areas where monitoring, limit-setting, or further evaluation may be warranted; Computer Addiction Assessment for Primary School Children is not a standalone diagnostic measure.
