“…Driving exposure was selected as the control variable due to previous work suggesting its influence on adolescent driving attitudes (Rowe et al, 2013; Stavrinos et al, 2020) and behavior (Foss et al, 2011). It was measured in a single item prompting respondents to report the number of days per week they drove, either since receiving their license at Time 1 or in the previous week at Times 2 and 3, as appropriate.…”

Background Extensive literature assesses risky adolescent driving, but nothing examines what makes teens avoid driving. Many assume teenagers are eager to drive, but evidence suggests internalizing symptoms lead some to avoid driving. Aims This study tested whether depressive and anxious symptomology predicted longitudinal driving avoidance in novice teen drivers. Materials and Methods N = 56 16‐year‐olds (52% female; 48% Black/African American) completed three observations over 6 months. At Time 1, participants reported depressive (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression 10‐item Scale) and anxious (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7‐item Scale) symptomologies, and driving avoidance (Driving Habits Questionnaire [DHQ]), repeating DHQ at Times 2 and 3. Multiple linear regression tested whether symptomologies predicted avoidance at licensure. Linear mixed models tested associations between symptomologies and avoidance over time. Results High anxiety predicted greater avoidance at baseline and over 6 months. Depressive symptoms did not predict avoidance. Discussion Findings warrant an assessment of anxious adolescents' barriers to driving and avoidance impacts on crash risk.

Children and adolescents are using screen media, which include devices such as cell phones, tablets, computers, and televisions, more than ever before. Much research has examined the impact of screen use on obesity, physical activity, and sedentary behavior as well as sleep and eye strain. In this chapter, we focus on the ways in which the use of screens can lead to physical injuries, including orthopedic issues, for children and adolescents through four distinct mechanisms. One focuses on the ways in which devices themselves can lead to injury (e.g., a television tipping over). Another explains how screen use can cause distractions leading to physical injury, whereas the third addresses overuse. Finally, the fourth mechanism considers the role of media effects. We present a brief overview about each of these four mechanisms, offer important research questions to address going forward, and identify recommendations for key audiences. Continuing research on injuries and orthopedic health from screen use is vital, as it refines recommendations and fosters innovative solutions. At the same time, stakeholders, including researchers, industry professionals, and parents, must stay alert to the evolving risks posed by new devices.
