Interventions
Participants must remove all recreational screen-based media use beyond 3 hours/week. This includes all recreational screen-based media use inside and outside the household. As a tool to comply with the intervention the families will hand-over all portable screen-based media devices. In return, each participant who own a smartphone will receive a regular cell-phone which can only make phone calls and send text messages. For a maximum of ½ an hour a day, adult participants may use screen-based media for necessary contact/errands. If one of the adult participants can not hand over their smartphones due to daily use for work purposes we will install an app tracking screen use on these devices.
