Study of nine and ten year olds squash myth

Long times spend in front of a computer screen are not causing young people to suffer from anxiety and depression, according to one of the largest studies undertaken.

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Institute for Behavioural Genetics analysed 11,875 nine and ten-year-old children in what was the largest long-term study undertaken in the US.

The study found that while kids that spent more time on screens were slightly more likely to have attention disorders, disturbed sleep or lower grades, they also had more close friends the more time they spent on their devices.
