Quantifying air quality co-benefits to industrial decarbonization
Introduction Many decarbonization technologies have the added co-benefit of reducing short-lived climate pollutants, such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), creating a unique opportunity for identifying strategies that promote both climate change solutions and opportunities for air quality improvement. However, stakeholders and decision-makers may struggle to quantify how these co-benefits will impact…
Reducing Unhealthy Normative Behavior
American adolescents consume more sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) than any other age group. Sports and energy drinks consumption among adolescents is higher than other SSBs. For sports drinks, there is uncertainty about their “healthiness” and also beliefs that these drinks may provide health benefits such as hydration, enhanced athletic performance, heightened mental alertness, and rapid recovery after exercise. Confusion about relative healthi…

Developing and Testing Message Strategies to Reduce Indoor Tanning
Objectives: Indoor tanning, which is most common among 18-25-year-old white women, increases the risk of skin cancer. To address this problem, we developed and tested messages with a national sample of indoor tanners to determine beliefs that would encourage them to quit. Methods: Messages discouraging indoor tanning using different persuasive themes (skin cancer risk, appearance risk, well-being enhancement) were developed based on formative res…
Presidential Address
Does media use define the experience of childhood? The present article, based on Jordan's Presidential Address at the International Communication Association's 66th annual conference, argues that while we often view media technologies as dividing generations, it is equally valuable to consider how they connect generations and enhance their well-being. It highlights the challenges of systematically studying youth and media in this way, particularl…
Identifying Family Television Practices to Reduce Children’s Television Time
The family system plays an important role in shaping children’s television use. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that parents limit screen time, given the risks associated with children’s heavy television viewing. Researchers have highlighted family television practices that may be effective for reducing children’s viewing, but more work is needed to identify which are most appropriate to communicate to families. Using cross-sec…

The impact of media policy on children's media exposure
Children's media policy is designed with two primary goals: first, to increase children's access to beneficial content; and second, to decrease their exposure to harmful content. This chapter explores the principles on which US children's media policy has been established. It then outlines current US media policies that address content deemed to be detrimental to children (including junk food advertising and violent content) and seek to improve a…
Children's Media Policy
Only Two Hours
This study examines parents' and children's reaction to the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation to limit children's television (TV) viewing to 2 hours a day or less. To better understand the challenges faced by parents who would seek to adhere to the guidelines, we conducted qualitative small group interviews with 60 parent/child dyads from each of the following three age groups: 6 to 7, 9 to 10, and 12 to 13 years ( N = 180 children an…
Health Effects of Media on Children and Adolescents
Youth spend an average of >7 hours/day using media, and the vast majority of them have access to a bedroom television, computer, the Internet, a video-game console, and a cell phone. In this article we review the most recent research on the effects of media on the health and well-being of children and adolescents. Studies have shown that media can provide information about safe health practices and can foster social connectedness. However, recent…
Children, Television Viewing, and Weight Status
Overweight and obesity among American children has reached epidemic proportions. More than 9 million youth between the ages of six and nineteen years are considered overweight, and more than 80 percent of overweight adolescents will go on to become obese adults. Research has indicated a wide range of factors believed to contribute to obesity among children, but of growing concern is the potential contribution made by children's media use. In Apri…

Families' Experiences With the V-Chip
Working from a family systems model, this study sought to understand how families' patterns and beliefs about children's use of television shaped and were shaped by the presence of the V-Chip. It illuminates the various ways in which public policy and media technology intersect with the roles, rules, relationships and resources that define family life. Specifically, 8 families from a larger field experiment were assisted in engaging the V-Chip bl…
Make yourself at home
This article reflects upon the author's experiences in two separate research projects that involved interviewing and observing families with school-age children to learn about how they use media in the home. It focuses on the points at which the researcher intersects with the family, and the ways in which meaning-making is negotiated. Using a social constructionist approach, the article outlines how different families define the researcher's 'rol…
Learning to Use Books and Television
Using Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory, this article explores two critical contexts of media use during childhood: the home and the school. Forty-two lowincome, minority parents with children attending full-time day care were surveyed to assess children's access to and use of media within the home, parents' beliefs about the role of media in children's development, and parents' participation in the at-home use of books and television. I…
The Three-Hour Rule and Educational Television for Children
This article presents findings from 2 studies examining the impact of the 1996 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) processing guideline mandating educational television for children. The studies include (a) a content analysis of 3 episodes of each of 41 different programs listed as "core" educational programming under the FCC's requirements and (b) an examination of industry perspectives on children's educational programming based on 22 in-de…
Growing Pains
This article is a review of research conducted in 1996 and 1997 designed to assess the current climate of the children's television industry and the impact of public policy initiatives on the availability, quality, and viewership of children's television. Researchers evaluated all children's programs from the 1996-97 season available in one large market and analyzed a subsample of commercial broadcasters' educational and informational programs. P…

In June 1996, the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, in cooperation with the Children's Television Workshop, hosted its first annual Conference on Children and Television. The conference was organized around four discussions: (1) the elements that characterize quality children's television; (2) the problems that producers confront in creating, producing, and selling quality programming; (3) the dilemmas confronting …
Social class, temporal orientation, and mass media use within the family system
This article examines the impact of social class on the relationship between ideologies of time and mass media use within the family system. Lengthy observations and in‐depth interviews with 21 families revealed that families from different social strata have distinct beliefs about the value and use of time, beliefs that shape their media‐related behaviors. It is argued that to understand the role of mass media in family life, one must first reco…
