To measure the long-lasting impacts screen time use may be having on our kids, major long-running science-based research is needed. The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study is looking to help by following the brain development of over ten thousand children over multiple years, tracking many aspects of children's lives, including screens. A psychologist and principal investigator of the ABCD Study in San Diego shares some of the study’s findings on technology use and childhood development. Research: https://abcdstudy.org/
