Media use

Media use assesses children's use of TV series, (computer) games and social media.

In the YOUth Baby and Child cohort, questions focused on tablet use, watching TV series, the frequency of gaming and the frequency of reading. In the YOUth Child and Adolescent cohort, questions focused on gaming (type and frequency), social media use and instant messaging (type, frequency, number of followers/friends), and self-reported over-use of internet (e.g., at the expense of homework or sleep).
