Problematic smartphone use among Lebanese adults aged 18-65 years using MPPUS-10

摘要

Background: While substance abuse and other forms of addiction are well established in the medical literature, problematic smartphone use is still under-diagnosed and potentially a widespread and serious form of addiction. Most of the literature is focused on adolescents and university students. We aimed to determine the extent of problematic smartphone use among adults aged 18 to 65.
