Screen Q

This document describes a screening tool called the ScreenQ that assesses children's screen media use across 4 domains: access, frequency, content, and interactivity. It contains 15 items that are scored on a scale of 0 to 26 total points, with higher scores indicating greater developmental and health risks. Examples of items include whether a child has a screen in their bedroom, daily screen time amounts, use of violent media content, and how often a parent discusses or asks questions about what their child views. The ScreenQ takes about 5-10 minutes for a parent to complete and is written at a 6th grade reading level.
