New Study and Forum on Implications of Youth Media Multitasking
The Kaiser Family Foundation hosted a forum and
released a new report on media multitasking among young people. The report,
Media Multitasking Among American Youth: Prevalence, Pairings and
Predictors, is based on data from seven-day media use diaries collected from
694 young people age 8 to 18 years old and quantifies the actual amount of
time young people spend multitasking when using media or doing homework.
