Note. Associations from the Baseline Adolescent Survey (N=2104) between each domain of T1 (Baseline) digital technology use and each facet of the parent-adolescent relationship are tested in separate single level regression models along covariates of age, gender, economic disadvantage, and dummy coded race/ethnicity. Significant relations bolded.
