Reports U.S. tweens' and teens' access to devices and use of video, gaming, social media, and AI chatbots or companions, including differences by age and household characteristics. Revised age ranges, platform-focused questions and median time measures establish a new baseline rather than directly comparable overall screen-time estimates across census waves.
Why I recommend it: The report states the publication year but not an exact release day. Its revised methods establish a new baseline for screen-time comparisons.
