Abstract BackgroundPsychological problems among children and adolescents have become a public health issue. This study aimed to investigate associations between screen time (ST), outdoor activity (OA), and emotional and behavioral health problems (EBHPs) among South Chinese children and adolescents.MethodsA total of 30,188 boys and girls from 14 elementary and junior high schools on six streets in Shenzhen were included in this study. EBHPs were measured with the strengths and difficulties questionnaire; OA and ST data were obtained through self-reporting. Descriptive analyses, chi-square tests, and logistic regressions were performed using SPSS 23.0.ResultsIn our study, 42.4% students had insufficient OA, 24.2% students had excessive ST, the abnormal prevalence of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, peer problems, hyperactivity problems, prosocial behavior, and total difficulties scales were 18.5%, 6.9%, 6.4%, 13.1%, 10.7% and 8.8%. There were significant associations between ST/OA, independent and addictive interaction, and EBHPs among children and adolescents. Participants with high exposure to ST were more likely to have EBHPs than those with low exposure; participants with low exposure to OA were also more likely to have EBHPs than those with high exposure. The interactive associations of ST and OA on EBHPs were stronger than those of ST or OA individually.ConclusionsOur results show positive associations between ST, OA, and EBHPs. They indicate that interventions should be considered for decreasing ST and increasing OA in children and adolescents.

Each year, more than six million young people receive treatment for severe mental, emotional, or behavioral problems. Strong evidence shows us how to prevent many behavioral health problems before they emerge. By unleashing the power of prevention through widespread use of proven approaches, we can help all youth grow up to become healthy and productive adults.

Emotional And Behavioral Health

We examine the effects of a quasi-experimental unconditional household income transfer on child emotional and behavioral health and personality traits. Using longitudinal data, we find that there are large beneficial effects on children's emotional and behavioral health and personality traits during adolescence. We find evidence that these effects are most pronounced for children who start out with the lowest initial endowments. The income intervention also results in improvements in parental relationships which we interpret as a potential mechanism behind our findings. (JEL D14, I12, I26, I31, I38, J13, J15)
