Abstract

We bring attention to a notable unreported "gaming addiction" or "problem gaming" prevalence data set that adds significantly to both the DSM-5's call for further Internet Gaming Disorder research as well as many other scientific encouragements for more wide-ranging reports on the topic.

Keywords: Finland; Gaming disorder; Internet gaming disorder; Prevalence.
