It is noted that despite the significance of the issue, not enough attention is given to the prevention of computer and video game addiction in terms of providing education for children and adolescents. In addition, listed are prevention methods, types and directions. The priority is primary prevention measures directed towards removing the unfavourable factors (social and biological) that cause the establishment of deviant behaviours, or towards increasing the ability of the vulnerable person to resist these unfavourable factors.
