Studies on discriminative factors for IAD

I found this scholar article which talks about how the sociodemographic, individual, family, peers, and school life affect on IAD in Taiwanese teenages. Based on a number of methodologies and examinations, they have proved that "depression and low family monitoring were the discriminative factors for IAD, ...., as low connectedness to school, high family conflict, having friends with habitual alcohol drinking, and living in rural areas also had discriminative effects on IAD." In conclusion, there are different suggestions on how parents and health and educational professionals monitor the Internet-using behaviors of their children.
