- Abstract
Screen dependency disorder is on a rising trend and being less researched, the study tried to find out the prevalence and pattern of screen viewing (SV) among children less than two-years of age. Data was collected through in-person interviews from their mothers. Increasing child-age and type of family were significantly associated with higher prevalence of SV. Smart phones had similar usage rates as TVs. Parental knowledge and practices were found to influence the SV and screen-time in children. Modifiable factors like parental knowledge on SV, parental SV practices can help in designing health promotion strategies and recommendations on SV.
