  • Description: In 2014, 81.6% of the population used the Internet.7 After a series of crimes and deaths related to Internet addiction, the South Korean government recognized Internet addiction as a social and public health problem. [...]the government developed the Korean Internet Addiction Self-assessment Tool (KS scale) and distributed it to schools for use in screening for addicted Internet users.8 Intentionally killing oneself can indicate not only a personal crisis but also deterioration of the social context in which an individual lives.9 In particular, the family unit is one of the most important factors contributing to adolescents' emotional well-being. [...]this study used a nationally representative sample to examine the effects of Internet use on adolescent suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, comparing an Internet user group to a nonuser group and focusing on the impact of family structure and perceived household economic status.
