Measuring Screen-Time for Local Kids

A new study is proving what many of us suspected; kids are spending a lot of time in front of screens. And we are starting them very young. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the average time children spend in front of screens increased from 53 minutes per day at 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years. That's just one finding from the study. In this podcast with Diane Donato, Erin Bell, professor of Environmental Health Sciences at UAlbany’s School of Public Health talks about the findings.
