| Abstract: | The Early Years Screen Time Advisory Group undertook a systematic review of scientific reviews related to early years screen use. The panel sought to identify systematic reviews that examined the impacts of screen use on a wide range of health and developmental outcomes for children aged under 5. The panel also sought to identify reviews that examine potential benefits as well as harms of digital media use in subgroups of children such as those with neurodevelopmental disorders. This report describes the methodology to the panel's systematic review. |
