Internet Gaming and Health: Integrating International Experience and Perspective from The Czech Republic and South Korea.

Internet gaming has been expanding worldwide becoming an inherent part of contemporary life. Despite the significant advantages related to the use of video games, a rather small proportion of users appear to excessively use the medium with negative consequences for their mental health and adaptation. In that context, defining the fine line between digital media use and abuse presents an imperative for developing individuals. The present panel aims to integrate the experience of two pioneering scholars in the field, coming from two different and culturally unique sides of the World, The Czech Republic and The Republic of Korea. The discussion will aim to cover the following three broad areas: a) video game use related opportunities; b) video game use related risks; c) contemporary evidence and future research priorities. Time will be allocated for audience questions to be addressed at the end of the discussion.

The primary target audience for this webinar is researchers, clinicians, parents, gamers, game-developers, media, and policymakers.

Learning objectives
1. Foster understanding of digital use related opportunities.
