“…3,39 Bedtime screen use has been linked with shorter sleep duration and sleep disturbances, potentially due to higher arousal at bedtime, light effects, and disturbances by notifications. 5 One prior study during the COVID-19 pandemic found no association between the implementation of parent rules (including limiting screen use at mealtimes and bedtime) and problematic media use; however, the analyses grouped all parent media rules together and did not differentiate between mealtime and bedtime screen rules. 40 To our knowledge, prior studies have not examined whether parental limiting of bedtime and mealtime screen use reduces adolescent total screen time and problematic screen use; further research may shed light on this topic.…”

“…1 Excessive screen use in children and adolescents has been linked to mental and physical health problems, obesity, sedentary behaviors, and sleep difficulties. [2][3][4][5] As parents play key roles during childhood and adolescence, child-parent relationships, parenting styles, and home environments have been identified as factors that may contribute to children's screen use patterns. 6,7 In general, greater parental monitoring has been associated with less total screen time in children 8 and adolescents.…”

Background To assess the prevalence of various media parenting practices and identify their associations with early adolescent screen time and problematic social media, video game, and mobile phone use. Methods Cross-sectional data from Year 3 of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (2019–2022) that included 10,048 adolescents (12–13 years, 48.3% female, 45.6% racial/ethnic minorities) in the US were analyzed using multiple linear regression analyses adjusting for potential confounders. Results Parent screen use, family mealtime screen use, and bedroom screen use were associated with greater adolescent screen time and problematic social media, video game, and mobile phone use. Parental use of screens to control behavior (e.g., as a reward or punishment) was associated with higher screen time and greater problematic video game use. Parental monitoring of screens was associated with lower screen time and less problematic social media and mobile phone use. Parental limit setting of screens was associated with lower screen time and less problematic social media, video game, and mobile phone use. Discussion Parent screen use, mealtime screen use, and bedroom screen use were associated with higher adolescent problematic screen use and could be limited in a family media use plan. Parental monitoring and limiting of screen time are associated with less problematic screen use. Impact statement Although the American Academy of Pediatrics provides guidance for screen use for children 5–18 years, there is a paucity of evidence-based guidance for media parenting practices, specifically for early adolescents. In a diverse sample of 10,048 early adolescents across the US, we found cross-sectional associations between parent, mealtime, and bedroom screen use and higher adolescent problematic screen use. Parental monitoring and limiting of adolescent screen time were cross-sectionally associated with less problematic screen use in our analytic sample and may be incorporated into a family media use plan.

“…Sexual minority identity was associated with nearly thirteenfold higher odds of reporting online dating compared to heterosexual identification among early adolescents. Also, sexual minority early adolescents report nearly four more hours of daily recreational screen time than their heterosexual peers, across all modalities, including social media, texting, video chat, YouTube videos, and browsing the internet [29]. Sexual minority early adolescents may have fewer romantic partner options in their schools, where they may also face stigma and discrimination [26,30].…”

Objective To investigate the prevalence and sociodemographic associations of online dating in a demographically diverse U.S. national cohort of early adolescents. Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (Year 2, 2018–2020, ages 11–12; N = 10,157). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate associations between sociodemographic factors (e.g., age, sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, household income, parental education) and early adolescent-reported online dating behaviors. Results Overall, 0.4% (n = 38) of participants reported ever using a dating app. Males (AOR 2.72, 95% CI 1.11–6.78) had higher odds of online dating compared to females, and sexual minority identification (e.g., lesbian, gay, or bisexual; AOR 12.97, 95% CI 4.32–38.96) was associated with greater odds of online dating compared to heterosexual identification. Conclusion Given the occurrence of online dating among early adolescents despite age restrictions, interventions might address age misrepresentation. Adolescent sexual health education may consider incorporating anticipatory guidance on online dating, especially for males and sexual minorities. Future research could further investigate online dating patterns from early to late adolescence and associated health effects.

“…Additionally, we incorporated gender identity and sexual health data [35] from KSADS background items on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation [36] to capture youth that identified as a sexual and/or gender minority. For sexual minorities, we adapted the definitions described by Nagata and colleagues [37]. See supplementary material for detailed information.…”

ObjectiveEating Disorders (EDs) often start in adolescence, though the prevalence, trajectory of symptom onset and predictors of illness are poorly understood, especially across sociodemographically diverse youth. Here, we leverage data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development℠ (ABCD) Study, a large demographically representative longitudinal sample of youth in the US, to characterize the prevalence of parent- and youth-reported ED symptoms and their sociodemographic characteristics at baseline (ages 9-11) and two-years later (2-year; ages 11-14).MethodA tetrachoric factor analysis summarized clusters of ED symptoms, which were compared between parent and youth reports. Cognitive, mental and physical health variables at baseline were used to predict youth-reported symptoms at 2-year using a mixed-effects logistic regression.ResultsThree factors emerged reflecting “weight distress”, “weight control”, and “bingeing”, with prevalence rates ranging from 1.5 to 7.3%. All symptoms loaded on similar factors between reporters. Rates of symptom endorsement were similar for males and females, with disproportionately higher rates across factors for youth who self-identified as sexual minority, Hispanic, Black, or Mixed race participants, and those from a disadvantaged socioeconomic background, compared to the full ABCD sample. Youth and parent reports at 2-year showed ∼17% overlap. A distinct pattern of cognitive variables emerged as significant predictors of later youth-reported ED concerns, whereas mental health symptoms and traits were non-specific and associated with all ED factors.ConclusionIdentifying the landscape of ED symptoms across demographic groups, reporters and their premorbid factors in late childhood is critical to inform prevention and early intervention efforts, with particularly important implications for historically understudied racial and sexual minority groups.
