The rapid proliferation of internet technology has profoundly impacted adolescents, offering both opportunities and significant risks. Among these risks, cyber addiction has emerged as a pressing public health concern worldwide. Youths increasingly spend extensive hours online, engaging in social media, gaming, and other digital activities that can develop into compulsive behaviors. This reliance not only hampers academic performance and social interactions but also associates with adverse mental health outcomes, including anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Despite this growing issue, awareness and interventions remain inconsistent, emphasizing the need for targeted programs that effectively address cyber addiction among adolescents.

Current programs and interventions aim to mitigate cyber addiction's impact through a variety of approaches. School-based educational initiatives focus on digital literacy and responsible internet usage, often incorporating behavioral therapy and counseling services. Parental control tools and monitoring applications serve as technological barriers to excessive screen time. Additionally, mental health professionals have developed targeted therapeutic interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to treat adolescents struggling with compulsive online behaviors. Nevertheless, the efficacy of these interventions varies, and many programs lack standardized protocols or wide-scale implementation. Recent studies suggest integrating digital literacy education with family-based interventions could enhance outcomes, but further research is necessary to establish evidence-based best practices.

The primary objective of this paper is to explore the public health implications of cyber addiction in adolescents and assess the effectiveness of current intervention strategies. The paper will investigate the extent of cyber addiction, identify gaps in existing programs, and propose comprehensive approaches that incorporate technological, psychological, and familial components. Specifically, the research questions are: What are the most effective current interventions for adolescent cyber addiction? How can these programs be improved to increase efficacy and scalability? Ultimately, this study aims to contribute to the development of evidence-based policies and programs that support adolescent mental health and digital well-being.
