Intervention group (Collective Motivational Interviewing plus Education Materials)
Arm Description
After completing the baseline screening, survey and randomization, the participants in the control group will receive educational materials regarding topics including: (1) what IGD is and its consequences, (2) how to communicate with parents about the gaming time, and (3) how to develop a healthy lifestyle, etc.
Participants in the intervention group will be given the same Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) education materials as those in the control group, thus, they will further participate in four counseling sessions with Collective Motivational Interviewing (CMI) (each session 60 mins). In the first session, adolescents with Internet Gaming Disorder will be implemented a standard MI session to elicit and strengthen the client's motivation to change. In the second session, a nominated CSO of the client will participate in a standard MI session to elicit their motivation to help the client toward change and prepare positive attitudes of CSO for the conjoint session. Afterward, the third and fourth sessions (75 mins) will be conjoint sessions. The Collective Motivational Interviewing practitioners will create a safe platform for both parties to share their perspectives with openness and trustfulness, in turn, to reach an agreed goal (e.g., develop a change plan on internet gaming behaviors).
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Severity of IGD
The nine-item Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short-Form (IGDS9-SF) are used to detect the change in the severity of IGD. It is the first brief standardized psychometric tool of IGD based on the nine DSM-5 IGD criteria. This instrument has been translated into 15 languages and is widely used in research and clinical settings. In addition, a validated Chinese version with satisfactory psychometric properties is available (Qin et al., 2020). The items were rated by using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Never to 5 = Very often).

Secondary Outcome Measures
Motivation to change maladaptive gaming behaviour
Contemplation Ladder for Internet Gaming (CL-LG), which is derived from the Contemplation Ladder measure the motivation to quit smoking (Biener & Abrams, 1991), are employed. Contemplation Ladder for drug use problems is commonly used in clinical settings and research in Hong Kong (Siu et al., 2018). The instrument measures the motivation to abstain from maladaptive gaming behaviors based on a single brief option of 11 rungs and five types of statements. The instrument is rated on a scale from 0 to 10, with each point representing a specific statement showing a corresponding stage of change. The ladder has been used in smoking cessation studies, which displayed strong reliability and validity with strong intercorrelations (Pearson's r = .82 - .98) (Rustin & Tate, 1993).

Craving for Internet Gaming
Craving for Internet Gaming Scale (CIGS) is used to measure respondents' intensity, frequency, duration of their craving, and capability to resist acting on their craving for a particular period of time. It comprises five-item, scoring from 0 to 6 for each item. Respondents with higher scores tend to have higher levels of gaming craving (Cronbach's alpha was .88-.91) (Savci & Griffiths, 2019).

Social support from CSO
The 4-item significant other subscales of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) will be used. It is a self-reporting instrument designed for assessing the level of perceived social support from significant others. The items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (very strongly disagree) to 7 (very strongly agree). The Cantonese version has demonstrated a high internal consistency coefficient with a Cronbach's alpha of .89 (Chou, 2000).

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The present study examines the efficacy of CMI in reducing adolescent IGD symptoms and enhancing social support given by CSOs among adolescents with high risk of IGD (probable IGD cases screened positive by validated tools). It is hypothesized that the intervention group (with CMI plus IGD education materials for both the clients and his/her selected CSO) would show more improvements in reduction in the severity of IGD, motivation to change maladaptive gaming behaviour, craving on gaming, and social support obtained from CSOs than to the control group (only educational materials for both the client and the CSOs).
Detailed Description
This study adopts a randomized controlled efficacy study with an open-label parallel-group design. The trial will be registered by the WHO's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform once the project is approved. Research participants will be recruited from the primary and secondary schools, and youth social services. After completing the screening process, research participants who are confirmed to fit the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to the intervention group with CMI intervention plus IGD education materials to both adolescents with IGD and their CSO or the control group with IGD education materials alone. The present study sets four-time points to track the change in the between-group difference of the primary and secondary outcomes from the baseline (T0) to post-intervention (T1), 3-month follow-up (T2), and 6-month follow-up (T3).

Model Description
The present study adopted a two-armed RCT to examine the efficacy of CMI in improving IGD among adolescents with IGD. The research participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group (four-session CMI intervention plus IGD educational materials) or the control group (IGD education materials alone). Block randomization will be executed, of which the block size is 4. Computer-generated randomization allocation codes will be produced and sealed in opaque envelopes by a research associate with no involvement in recruitment. One envelope will be drawn and opened by the project officer.
