Associations between daily screen time and sleep in a racially and socioeconomically diverse sample of US infants: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To determine the associations between screen media use and sleep throughout infancy (3-12 months).

Design

Prospective Nurture birth cohort.

Setting

North Carolina, USA, 2013-2015.

Participants

Women enrolled in their second to third trimester, completed a phone interview after birth, and completed home visits at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post partum.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

Women reported the usual hours their infants slept during the day and night and their infants' usual use of five screen media activities at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post partum. Adjusted mixed-effects regression analyses modelled the associations between infant screen time and sleep outcomes while disaggregating the between-infant and within-infant effects.
