Evidence Council
The Children and Screens Evidence Council is composed of leading researchers and clinicians convened to provide clear, evidence-based guidance on some of the most urgent and debated questions surrounding children, adolescents, and digital media. The Evidence Council addresses the gap between the rapid evolution of technology and public understanding and policy by issuing concise, vote-based positions on timely and consequential issues related to children, adolescents, and digital media. Council members draw on their disciplinary expertise to evaluate the available evidence and independently register their professional judgment. The resulting positions reflect areas of consensus, divergence, and nuance, offering a transparent snapshot of how experts interpret the current state of the science. The Evidence Council does not advocate for specific policies or products. Instead, it provides an evidence-informed foundation to support thoughtful public dialogue, responsible policymaking, and informed decision-making by families and professionals.
