description ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate the prevalence of internet addiction (IA) among adolescents, as well as characterize behaviors that are considered to be a risk in this population regarding the use and addiction of the Internet. Methods In this cross-sectional study conducted in one public and one private school 91 adolescents, aged 12 to 16 years old, responded the Internet Addiction Test – Brazilian version (IAT) and Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Results The prevalence of internet addiction found was 21%, with no difference between private and public schools. On the group dependent on the Internet, there was a statistically significant correlation with Anxiety/Depression, Withdrawn/Depression, Rule Breaking Behavior and Aggressive Behavior, as well as the syndrome scales Social Problems, Thought Problems and Attention Problems. Conclusion Our study provides evidence of a relationship between internet addiction and behavioral problems among adolescents. As this is a cross-sectional study, we consider that future research is necessary to corroborate our results. RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar a prevalência da dependência de internet entre adolescentes, assim como caracterizar comportamentos de risco nessa população em relação ao uso e à dependência de internet. Métodos Estudo transversal analítico realizado em dois colégios, um público e um particular, com 91 adolescentes de idade entre 12 e 16 anos, que responderam aos questionários Internet Addiction Test – versão brasileira (IAT) e Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Resultados Entre a população estudada, a prevalência de dependência de internet encontrada foi de 21%, não havendo diferença entre as escolas pública e particular. No grupo dependente de internet, houve relação estatisticamente significativa com os sintomas Ansiedade/Depressão, Isolamento/Depressão e Comportamento Agressivo e de Quebrar Regras. As escalas Problemas Sociais, Problemas de Pensamento e Problemas de Atenção também se correlacionam à dependência de internet. Conclusão O presente estudo demonstra evidência de correlação entre a dependência de internet e sintomas comportamentais entre adolescentes. Por se tratar de um estudo transversal, contudo, esses dados devem ser vistos com cautela e pesquisas futuras são necessárias para corroborar nossos resultados.
