Over the past 2 decades, personal digital devices have evolved to become portable, attractive, readily accessible, interactive, and ubiquitous. Although digital and social media have evidence-based benefits, including early learning, exposure to new ideas and knowledge, and increased opportunities for social contact and support, unsupervised and unchecked use of personal digital devices can have negative consequences for the physical and mental health of children in their formative years.The widespread use of portable digital devices has been accompanied by a concomitant rise in the prevalence of physical and mental health issues in children. Research suggests an association between these trends, which also may be considered from a public health perspective. Proposed interventions include the development and implementation of individual family media use plans for children of all ages.
在过去20年里，个人数字设备已经发展成为便携式、吸引人、随时可用、交互式且无处不在的设备。尽管数字和社交媒体有基于证据的益处，包括早期学习、接触新思想和知识以及增加社交联系和支持的机会，但在儿童成长阶段无监督、无节制地使用个人数字设备会对他们的身心健康产生负面影响。便携式数字设备的广泛使用伴随着儿童身心健康问题患病率的相应上升。研究表明了这些趋势之间的关联，从公共卫生角度来看这也是值得考虑的。建议的干预措施包括为各年龄段儿童制定并实施个人家庭媒体使用计划。
