Study protocol: Mixed-methods evaluation of a cluster-randomized trial on preventing dysregulated screen use in children under 3

Preventing Screen Time Issues in Young Children

Screen time for children under three can lead to health and development problems. This study focuses on a program designed to help pediatricians manage screen time during regular check-ups.

Study Overview

The study is a large trial across Germany. Two-thirds of pediatric practices received special tools to help manage screen time, while one-third continued with their usual practices. An app was developed to track how much time children spend on screens and assess their development through parents’ feedback.

Evaluation Process

To understand how well this program works, researchers are evaluating it using two main frameworks:

  • RE-AIM Framework: This looks at how many people are reached, how effective the program is, how well it is adopted, how it is implemented, and how it can be maintained.
  • CFIR Framework: This identifies factors that affect the success of the program.

Data will be collected through surveys and interviews with pediatricians and parents at different stages over two years.

Goals and Outcomes

The aim is to establish clear goals for clinics and families to reduce screen time issues. This includes:

  • Defining measurable outcomes for success.
  • Identifying opportunities for improvement based on trial data.

Using AI Tools

To enhance the management of screen time in clinics, AI tools can be selected for specific tasks. These tools will help track results effectively.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Start with a pilot project to test the program, using AI solutions to monitor real-world impacts based on the study’s findings.
