US Family Meals: Media Use by Parents and Children

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this study, differences were observed in parent and child mealtime media use patterns among racial and ethnic groups. Specifically, Black parental race was positively associated with paired use; Asian parental race was associated with more individual use. These findings may reflect broader cultural differences in family communication, parental intervention styles, and the role of media in parent-child interaction.
