NCT ID NCT06163495
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether helping children aged 9-11 spend less time on screens and more time face-to-face with friends improves their wellbeing. About 685 kids took part, and researchers measured changes in social time, screen use, physical activity, sleep, and more. The goal was to see if a school-based program could make a real difference in kids' daily lives.
