Private screen access in early adolescence predicts subsequent academic and social impairment at the end of high school for boys and girls
CONCLUSION: The bedroom as an early adolescent screen-based zone does not predict long-term positive health and well-being. Pediatric recommendations to parents and youth should be more resolute about bedrooms being screen-free zones and about unlimited access in private exposures in childhood.PMID:38353938 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.44.2.01 (Source: Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada)

Physical activity, organized sport participation and active transportation to school among Canadian youth by gender identity and sexual attraction

Associations between negative COVID-19 experiences and symptoms of anxiety and depression: a study based on a representative Canadian national sample
CONCLUSION: This study provides insight into the relationship between COVID-19 and Canadians' mental health, demonstrating an increased prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms associated with COVID-19-related adversities and common prepandemic determinants of these symptoms. The findings suggest that mental health during the pandemic was primarily shaped by traditional determinants of depression and anxiety symptoms and also by negative experiences during the pandemic.PMID:38353940 | DOI:10.24095/hpcdp.44.2.03 (Source: Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention in Canada)
