摘要

This study assessed the adherence to IAP guidelines on permissible daily screen exposure in 771 children aged 3 months to 14 years using a pre-validated questionnaire. The mean (SD) screen time (ST) was 2.62 (1.44) hours, with adherence rates of 1%, 8.8%, 3.2%, and 24.6% in children aged < 2 years, 2–5 years, 6–10 years, and 11–14 years, respectively. Factors like age, siblings, family size, school type, and home gadgets significantly influenced ST. Novel strategies and implementation techniques should be adopted to improve adherence among children.
