The presence and intensity of media influences television, radio,
music, computers, films, videos, and the Internet are increasingly
recognized as an important part of the social ecology of children
and youth, and these influences have become more visible and
volatile in recent decades. Research that explores the level and
effects of media influences calls for measurements of the quantity
and character of exposure to a variety of potentially overlapping
media sources, an analysis of the content of the media output, and
examination of the social context and relationships that are
associated with the media experience. Recognizing the importance of
this research, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families, under
the auspices of the National Research Council and the Institute of
Medicine, and with the sponsorship of the Henry J. Kaiser Family
Foundation, held a workshop in March 2006. Its purpose was twofold:
to examine the quality of the measures used in studies of the
effects of media on children's health and development and to
identify gaps in both research and practice. The goal was for a
variety of experts to consider steps and strategies that could move
this research forward and improve its utility for helping parents,
practitioners, and policy makers guide young people in navigating a
media-rich environment. Studying Media Effects on Children and
Youth provides a summary of that discussion, supplemented with
information from two papers prepared for the workshop. It begins
with an examination of the potential impact of media exposure,
followed by a description of the basic research questions and the
methods currently used to study them. Methodological questions and
challenges and theoretical approaches are described; they are
discussed from the perspective of other kinds of epidemiological
research. This report closes with a discussion of future directions
for the field. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 Introduction 2
