Summary

This study looked at whether encouraging children aged 9-11 to spend more time with friends in person and less time on screens could improve their wellbeing. About 685 children took part, and researchers measured changes in face-to-face time, screen use, physical activity, and sleep. The goal was to see if reducing recreational screen time leads to healthier social habits and better overall health.
