Project

Correlates and outcomes of digital technology use by young children: phase 1

Overview

This first phase of this project will capture what is known about the correlates and outcomes of digital technology use by young children. The project will synthesise what is known about current technology use by young children and potential child, family and wider environment correlates and child health, wellbeing and developmental outcomes. The findings will inform future research to enhance the understanding of factors related to technology use and support evidence-based guidance.


Project aims

  • summarise available evidence on correlates and outcomes of digital technology use by young children
  • investigate correlates and outcomes of digital technology use by young children using existing datasets


Project design

This project involves identification of the need for and conduct of systematic reviews (or other review approaches) that summarise the available evidence on the correlates and outcomes related to digital technology use by young children. We will also investigate correlates and outcomes of digital technology use by young children using data collected as part of pre-existing projects.

The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child acknowledges the First Australian owners of the lands on where we gather and pay our respects to the Elders, lores, customs and creation spirits of this country.

The Centre recognises that the examples we set in diversity and inclusion will support young children to respect and celebrate differences in all people. We embed diversity, inclusivity and equality into all aspects of the Centre’s activities and welcome all people regardless of race, ethnicity, social background, religion, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation and national origin.
