This quasi-experimental study evaluated a Theory of Planned Behavior-based educational intervention among higher secondary students in Kathmandu, Nepal. The two-day intervention significantly reduced daily internet use and improved attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intentions related to preventing internet addiction. No significant changes were observed in the control group, demonstrating that theory-driven, school-based educational programs can effectively promote healthier internet use behaviors among adolescents.
