abstract
A retrospective nested case-control study was designed to explore whether freshman year mental health
status and level of adaptation are predictors of Internet addiction. The study cohort was 977 college
students at a university in northwest China. In the fi rst college year, the students' mental health status
and adaptation level were assessed using the Chinese College Student Mental Health Scale (CCSMHS) and
the Chinese College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS). In the following 1 – 3 years, 62 Internet-addicted
subjects were identi fi ed using Young's 8-item diagnostic questionnaire. Controls were matched for
demographic characteristics. Using logistic regression analysis, freshman year mental health status,
including factors such as somatization, anxiety, depression and self-contempt, and freshman year
adaptive problems were found to be causal factors and predictors of Internet addiction. Freshman with
features of depression, learning maladaptation and dissatisfaction could be an important target-intervention population for reducing Internet addiction.
