Response format is in the 5 point Likert scale ranging from 1 as Very Rarely, 2 as Rarely, 3 as sometimes, 4 as often and 5 as very often. Higher scores indicate more problematic use.The scale is free for academic research and validated across multiple languages. It has excellent internal consistency (Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 \u2248 0.80\u20130.85 in most studies).A common research cut-off for \u201cat-risk\u201d is \u226519. Observation states among all five options Sometimes option has been rated as highest in compared to other options.
