To develop and validate the PRIUSS-3 screening scale, a short scale to screen for Problematic Internet Use. This scale development study applied standard processes using separate samples for training and testing dtatasets. We recruited participants from schools and colleges in 6 states and 2 countries. We selected 3 initial versions of a PRIUSS-3 using correlation to the PRIUSS-18 score. We evaluated these 3 potential screening scales for conceptual coherence, factor loading, sensitivity and specificity. We selected a 3-item screening tool and evaluated it in two separate testing sets using receiver operating curves (ROCs). Our study sample included 1079 adolescents and young adults. The PRIUSS-3 included 3 items addressing: 1) anxiety when away from the internet, 2) loss of motivation when on the internet, and 3) feelings of withdrawal when away from the internet. This screening scale had a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 69%. A score of 3 or greater on the PRIUSS-3 was the threshold to follow-up with the PRIUSS-18. Similar to other clinical screens, the PRIUSS-3 can be administered quickly in a clinical or research setting. Positive screens should be followed by administering the full PRIUSS-18. Given the pervasive presence of the internet in youth's lives, screening and counseling for PIU can be facilitated by use of this validated screening tool.
