Abstract

Background: Hitherto, no instrumental research has been designed to measure the addiction potential for children in Iran. Therefore, 
the questionnaires designed to investigate addiction were examined in this systematic review article.
Methods: In the present systematic review, all Iranian and foreign research on addiction potential for children were examined until 
March 2022. Using separate keywords and their Latin synonyms according to Mesh terms, an extensive search was conducted in 
databases: PubMed, Magiran, Iranmedex, Medline, Google Scholar, SID, and Irandoc. In total, 173 Farsi and English papers were 
included in the initial list, and after evaluation according to the Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) 
checklist and acceptance criteria, 43 final papers were selected for systematic review. 
Findings: Through searching in Persian and English databases and using related keywords, 173 papers were found in the initial 
search and after removing duplicates and unrelated studies, 43 papers were selected for systematic review. In this research, papers 
related to the addiction potential between 1998 and 2019 were considered, and among these, 22 papers particularly dealt with 
addiction. In the conducted studies, the awareness, attitude, talent, and factors affecting addiction were mostly measured and in 
some papers, addiction potential was measured.
Conclusion: Designing psychometrically appropriate tools is necessary to measure the addiction potential of children in Iran. Due 
to the unavailability of appropriate tools and the fact that the previous versions are not up to date and are not checked regularly, for 
better and more complete decision-making in the health policy-making process more investigation in this field is necessary.
