Changes in child, adolescent screen time during pandemic
JAMA Pediatrics
Peer-Reviewed PublicationAbout The Study: This systematic review and meta-analysis of 46 studies including 29,000 children and adolescents indicates that, on average, screen time increased by 52%, or 84 min/day (1.4 hours/day), during the pandemic. Compared with a pre-pandemic baseline value of 2.7 hours/day, this increase corresponds to a daily average of 4.1 hours/day of screen time across all children and adolescents during the pandemic. Screen time increases were highest for individuals ages 12 to 18 and for handheld devices and personal computers. Practitioners and pandemic recovery initiatives should focus on fostering healthy device habits, including moderating use, monitoring content, prioritizing device-free time, and using screens for creativity or connection.

Association of pandemic with adolescent, young adult eating disorder care volume
JAMA Pediatrics
Peer-Reviewed PublicationAbout The Study: There was a significant COVID-19 pandemic-related increase in both inpatient and outpatient volume of adolescent and young adult patients with eating disorders (EDs) at geographically diverse academic adolescent medicine programs, particularly in the first year of the pandemic. Given inadequate ED care availability prior to the pandemic, the increased post-pandemic demand will likely outstrip available resources. Results highlight the need to address ED workforce and program capacity issues as well as improve ED prevention strategies.
