Shared family factors influence screen use and mental health problems in young people - News-Medical

This is according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in Nature Human Behaviour. "Our results suggest that the association may in some cases have been overestimated because it has not been possible to fully account for shared family factors," says Tong Gong, research specialist at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Karolinska Institutet, and the study's corresponding author alongside Lu Yi, senior researcher at the same department.
