Public Health Approaches to a Safer Digital World
We cannot leave children and adolescents without safeguards when it comes to screen time. Clear public policies are needed to regulate their use.

This holistic approach, combining regulation, prevention, and education, is the way forward to protect young people without demonizing digital media.
