Barriers to Reducing Children's Screen Time and Associated Factors Among Mothers of Under-Five Children in Woliso City Administration, Oromia Ethiopia: Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Background

Screen time (ST) is the time spent using screen-based devices and has become a global health concern. Excessive ST negatively impacts children's health and development; however, it has been increasing dramatically among young children. Parents are the primary caregivers responsible for monitoring children's ST. Therefore, identifying potential barriers and their attributes is fundamental to taking early action.
