About the study: This secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial found that short-term reductions in leisure-time screen media use within families had a positive effect on children and adolescents’ psychological symptoms, including reducing internalizing behavior problems and improving prosocial behavior. Further research is needed to confirm whether these effects are sustained in the long term.
