Identification and characterization of screen use trajectories from late childhood to adolescence in a US-population based cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Screen use is a known risk factor for adverse physical and mental health outcomes during childhood and adolescence. Moreover, racial/ethnic disparity in screen use persists among adolescents. However, limited studies have characterized the population sharing similar longitudinal patterns of screen use from childhood to adolescence.

Study participants of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (2016-2021) in the U.S with non-missing responses on self-reported screen use at each year of the study were included in the analysis. Growth mixture modeling was used to identify the optimal number of subgroups of adolescents with similar trajectori
