Note: The results from this table come only from the four screen-time activities reported in minutes/day. All statistics accounted for the complex design and are weighted to account for probability of selection and non-response.
Means sharing the same superscript are significantly different (pairwise comparison p-value ≤ 0.01) and highlighted in bold, except when the comparison includes background mixed or other/missing which is not meaningful. Pairwise comparisons were only conducted when the overall test was significant at an alpha level of 0.0001 given the large number of comparisons performed.
