In the first stage, 10 municipal wards were randomly selected in the Prayagraj city. Each of these wards have a total population between 11,000 and 22,000. In the second stage, children were selected in proportion to their population from each selected ward to achieve a sample size," said Tripathi.The findings revealed that an overwhelming majority of households have television followed by digital cameras, laptops, tablets, kindle and video games."This leads to children spending more screen time which not only affects them physically and damages eye sight, it also has an adverse impact on their mental health, depending on the type of content they watch," said Tripathi.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
