Notas: The use of the Internet has positive and negative social consequences. Among the negatives is the so-called phenomenon of Internet Addiction (IA), mainly in young people. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out prevention / intervention programs to reduce the degree of Internet addiction in young people and preserve and improve their degree of physical and psychological well-being. This program is aimed at young people between the ages of 14 and 18, selected at the secondary and high school centres in Teruel. The program consists of 8 group sessions over 4 weeks, that is, 2 weekly sessions, and its duration will be 2 hours each session. A questionnaire on sociodemographic data will be used to characterize the sample; variables such as sex, age, country of birth, educational level and daily access time to the network will be taken into account. Secondly, the Spanish version of the Young Internet Addiction Scale (IAT; Internet Addiction Test) will be applied at two time points: before participating in the intervention program, where the symptoms of addiction to Internet, and later to check the effectiveness of this program. If the scores obtained in the IAT after the application of the program decrease significantly, compared to those obtained before its application, we will understand that the program has been effective. Key words: addiction, Internet, IA, youth, intervention.
