- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Technology and Media Use Rules 4 months after initial baseline Increases in the number of positive responses to technology and media rules followed or maintained
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Changes in sleep behavior 2 and 4 months after initial baseline (Time 2 and 3) Changes in sleep as measured by the 8 item Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS). Participants will assess their sleep behaviors by answering each item with "never", "seldom", "sometimes", "frequently", or "always". Items are scored from 0-4 (never= 0; seldom=1; sometimes=2; frequently=3; always=4) with a score above 16 indicating poor sleep behavior.
Changes in risk for Problematic Internet Use 2 and 4 months after initial baseline (Time 2 and 3) Changes in problematic internet use symptoms as measured by the 18-item Problematic and Risky Internet Use Screening Scale (PRIUSS). For each item participants will select from "never", "rarely", "sometimes", "often", or "very often" in relation to their internet use over the last 6 months. Each option is coded with "never" equal to 1 and "very often" equal to 5. An overall composite score is calculated at the end, with an overall score of 25 indicating a risk for problematic internet use.
