Summary

This study looked at how children ages 8 to 17 use smartphones and tablets, including social media and games, and how that relates to their mental health, sleep, and physical activity. Over 900 children and their parents used the Aura app and completed surveys for three months. The goal was to better understand the links between technology use and child wellness.
