The problem
Intervention: Differential exposure to types of screen time (recreational, educational, and communication-based)
Who it was tested with: 465 caregiver-child pairs with children aged 0-6 years in Thailand (mean age 41.97 months).
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Data on screen time and related characteristics were collected through structured caregiver interviews. Children's developmental outcomes were assessed using the Developmental Surveillance and Promotion Manual by trained public health practitioners. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine associations between different types of screen time and suspected developmental delays." The study measured associations between screen time exposure and developmental outcomes but lacks a comparison group or baseline-endline design, making it observational rather than experimental.
Cross-sectional design precludes causal inference. Convenience sampling may introduce selection bias. Developmental outcomes assessed through observation rather than clinical diagnosis.
