Novel Profiles of Family Media Use: Latent Profile Analysis

Novel Profiles of Family Media Use: Latent Profile Analysis

We examined these patterns and their associations with parent, child, and household characteristics within a large cohort of preschool-aged children, as early childhood is an important time of establishing media use habits [13]. We analyzed data from the Preschooler Tablet Study, a longitudinal cohort study (NICHD R21 HD094051) examining associations between early childhood digital media use and social-emotional development.

Evaluation of Parents’ Use of a Child Health Care Information App and Their Health Literacy: Cross-Sectional Study

Further, a study in China reported that an app-based intervention that included injury prevention significantly improved the safety behaviors of parents of preschool children [11]. The inappropriate use of pediatric emergency departments is a growing concern worldwide [12,13]. In Japan, many municipalities provide free medical care for children. Consequently, many visits to pediatric emergency rooms are nonurgent.

App-Based Hearing Screenings in Preschool Children With Different Types of Headphones: Diagnostic Study

App-Based Hearing Screenings in Preschool Children With Different Types of Headphones: Diagnostic Study

Hearing disabilities also affect preschool children in many ways, such as psychomotor skills, social skills, learning skills, emotional skills, and development skills [8,9]. Therefore, hearing screening tools play an important role in detecting hearing loss in preschool children and serve to prevent the disadvantageous outcomes described above. Currently, standard hearing screening for children remains a major concern due to the lack of professional pediatric audiologists and soundproof rooms.

Stop and Play Digital Health Education Intervention for Reducing Excessive Screen Time Among Preschoolers From Low Socioeconomic Families: Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

During the early childhood period of preschool years, parents play the most fundamental role in shaping a child’s habits [15,16]. So far, only a handful of interventions targeting parents of preschoolers with the primary aim of screen time reduction have been established [17-22]. Moreover, almost all studies were conducted in Western countries, with a huge disparity in terms of parenting when compared with Asian cultures.

Feasibility of Measuring Screen Time, Activity, and Context Among Families With Preschoolers: Intensive Longitudinal Pilot Study

Feasibility of Measuring Screen Time, Activity, and Context Among Families With Preschoolers: Intensive Longitudinal Pilot Study

Few preschool-aged children meet the World Health Organization’s recommendation ≤1 hour of screen time per day [5,6]. This is partly attributable to the rapid growth of digital media technology, which makes screens more available across multiple contexts [7,8]. Unfortunately, our understanding of the unique ways in which children and families use digital media has lagged behind the rapid adoption of this technology.

Developing an Anxiety Screening Tool for Children in South Africa: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Mental health problems, which can occur as early as infancy, have been linked to childcare challenges and difficulty in preschool settings, including behavioral problems in school and difficulty learning and engaging with peers and educational content [5]. Anxiety has specifically been identified as the most common mental health challenge in early childhood [3], affecting the child’s social interactions and ability to adequately express emotion.
