The Screen-Free Time with Friends Feasibility Trial will test the feasibility, including acceptability and compliance, of an intervention designed to reduce screen media usage and encourage physical interaction with friends during leisure time in 9-11-year-old children.

Methods

A non-randomized single-group feasibility trial will be conducted from March to October 2023 including approximately 75 children (aged 9-11 years) and 75 parents (at least 1 per child) from 3 different schools recruited from 3 different municipalities in Denmark. The Screen-Free Time with Friend
