Research Alert
About The Study: The findings of this study of 228 children ages 4 to 12 suggest that screen time among children increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and remained elevated even after many public health precautions were lifted. The long-term association of increased screen time during the COVID-19 pandemic with children’s health needs to be determined.
