Popis: Screen media usage is a major public health issue. Nearly all children grow up in households with a TV and some type of mobile device. National and international studies report an increase in the amount of time children spend with screen media. The resulting negative effects on the physical, emotional and cognitive development of children have led to a need for primary prevention of developmental problems. Besides parental media education, child care settings are important for media education. MEDIA PROTECT aims to support screen media-sensitive environments in the home and the child care setting. It is a program to sustainably prevent children’s problematic and, in the long run addictive use of screen media in a multi-setting approach through the targeting of parents, children and teachers. To test the effectiveness of MEDIA PROTECT, a longitudinal cluster-controlled trial was conducted, with 49 kindergartens and nine elementary schools located in areas with a need for action in the social field.
