Problematic mobile phone use (PMPU) has become a worldwide phenomenon with negative impacts on adolescents' daily lives.

- The diagnosis of child and adolescent psychological disorders typically requires a combination of clinical assessments, behavioral checks, medical history, and family context, with new technologies like internet-based questionnaires increasingly being utilized.
- The study focused on leveraging machine learning (ML) to classify attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using data collected from parents online, aiming to improve diagnostic precision for families seeking help.
- Data from 1,688 children and teens suspected of having neurodevelopmental issues were used to create and assess various ML models (like random forest and logistic regression), utilizing an online screening tool designed specifically for these disorders in Italy.
Background: Using the metacognitive model of emotion dysregulation as a basis, this study explored whether, among participants with substance use disorders (SUDs), metacognitive beliefs and repetitive negative thinking were associated with emotion dysregulation.
Methods: 127 participants with SUDs and 127 controls without SUDs were recruited. Emotion dysregulation, metacognitive beliefs, rumination, worry, anxiety, and depression were assessed.
