a
Propensity weights from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study were applied based on the American Community Survey from the US Census.
b
Individual screen time estimates do not equal the sum total because a winsorization method was applied to minimize the impact of extreme values within the distributions of each screen time category and the total category.
c
This subcategory was listed as “other” but with no specific racial and ethnic groups defined, although write-ins were allowed.
