Can a simple check-in end screen-time battles?
NCT ID NCT05722535
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new tool called the Family Media Check-In that helps parents and teens work together to create a family media plan. About 300 parent-teen pairs will try it and report how satisfied they are with the plan and how much conflict it reduces. The goal is to see if shared decision-making makes screen-time rules easier to follow and less stressful.
