Education in addictive behaviors: The effects of the 'DIPENDE!' video with early adolescents.

BACKGROUND: The present study investigated the efficacy of the "DIPENDE!" video in middle school students. We hypothesized that exposure to the video in the Experimental Group (EG) would (a) increase correct cognitions about addictions (towards alcohol, nicotine, and problematic smartphone use), (b) reduce intentions to engage in these behaviours in risky situations, and (c) not produce any unintended increase in craving. METHODS: An environmental sustainability video was developed for the Control Group (CG). Both videos were designed according to the conceptual change model within a metacogn…
