Method: A total of 763 university students participated in an online survey. Results: Prevalence rates were 16.3% (GPIU), 8.7% (PSMU), and 1.4% (POG). Cooccurrence rates were 6.6% (GPIU-PSMU), 0.7% (GPIU-POG), 0% (PSMU-POG), and 0.5% (GPIU-PSMU-POG). Female gender was associated with GPIU and PSMU, while male gender was linked to POG. Unemployment was related to POG, alcohol use and poor sleep quality to GPIU, and PSMU. Daily internet use was associated with GPIU; socialrelated use with GPIU and PSMU; and processrelated use with all three behaviours. Conclusions: These findings support the need for differentiated preventive strategies tailored to the specific patterns and correlates of each type of problematic online behaviour.

Método: Participaron 763 estudiantes universitarios mediante una encuesta online. Resultados: La prevalencia fue de 16.3% (GPIU), 8.7% (PSMU) y 1.4% (POG). Las tasas de coocurrencia fueron 6.6% (GPIU-PSMU), 0.7% (GPIU-POG), 0% (PSMU-POG) y 0.5% (los tres). El género femenino se asoció con GPIU y PSMU, mientras que el masculino con POG. El desempleo se vinculó con POG; el consumo de alcohol y la mala calidad del sueño, con GPIU y PSMU. El uso diario de internet se relacionó con GPIU; el uso con fines sociales, con GPIU y PSMU; y el uso orientado a procesos, con los tres.
