The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends behavioral interventions to
reduce recreational sedentary screen time among children aged 13 years and younger.
This finding is based on strong evidence of effectiveness in reducing recreational
sedentary screen time, increasing physical activity, improving diet, and improving
or maintaining weight-related outcomes. Evidence includes studies of interventions
that focus only on reducing recreational sedentary screen time (screen-time-only)
and studies that focus on reducing recreational sedentary screen time and improving
physical activity or diet (screen-time-plus). Limited evidence was available to assess
the effectiveness of these interventions among adults.
