The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), are convening a hybrid workshop, “Impact of Technology and Digital Media on Child and Adolescent Development and Mental Health,” on April 4th and 5th, at the Neuroscience Center in Rockville, MD. Workshop sessions will address technology and digital media research as it relates to cognitive development, physical and health behaviors, socioemotional development and mental health, diversity and inclusion, conceptual and measurement issues, and the identification of knowledge gaps and future directions.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, which included the bipartisan Children and Media Research Advancement (CAMRA) Act, charged the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with convening workshops and soliciting ideas from the field to inform the drafting of a scientific research agenda to advance the cumulation of knowledge on this topic.
