Scoring & interpretation
Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree). The item scores are added up, with a higher score indicating a greater degree of addiction. Cutoffs have been proposed in the literature to guide interpretation according to sex and type of use.
