While specific forms such as online gaming and gambling are recognized as disorders or conditions for further study in diagnostic manuals, global data on prevalence, treatment, and health responses to PUI remain limited. This study aimed to obtain perspectives from representatives of\u00a0addiction medicine\/psychiatry societies regarding the scope, treatment, and health responses to PUI and identify gaps.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A global survey was conducted through the International Society of\u00a0Addiction Medicine's Global Expert Network (ISAM-GEN), involving addiction societies from 38 countries across Europe, Asia\/Oceania, the Americas, and Africa. The survey assessed responses to non-specific PUI and five subtypes: online gaming, gambling, pornography, social media, and online shopping.

Despite growing awareness\u2014reflected in the formation of PUI interest groups in 44.7% of societies\u2014gaps were reported, including lack of professional certification (78.9%), insufficient practitioner education (68.4%), and inadequate expert training (63.2%).
