Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Reduced recreational screen time

Participants must remove all recreational screen-based media use beyond 3 hours/week. This includes all recreational screen-based media use inside and outside the household. As a tool to comply with the intervention the families will hand-over all portable screen-based media devices. In return, each participant who own a smartphone will receive a regular cell-phone which can only make phone calls and send text messages. For a maximum of ½ an hour a day, adult participants may use this device for necessary contact. The families are allowed a maximum of 3 hours/week of recreational screen time. If participants can not hand over their smartphones due to daily use for work purposes we will install an app tracking screen use on these devices.

BEHAVIORAL

Timed recreational screen time

Participants must remove all recreational screen-based media use after 6 PM. There are no restrictions on the amount of screen-based media use before 6 PM. Thus, before 6 PM, the participants must continue their habitual screen-based media use completely. However, after 6 PM, both work-related and recreational screen-based media use must be removed completely.
