- Offer objective information on the possible risks that these games and social networks may pose.
- Offer strategies that will encourage self-care behaviours.
- Promote awareness among the participants on the importance of their role in promoting preventive messages.
The method will take the gender perspective into account because numerous studies have found differences between boys and girls regarding how they use online gaming, betting, mobile apps, etc. and regarding their habits.
