The Common Sense Census: Plugged-in Parents of Tweens and Teens in America, [United States], 2016

The goal of this Common Sense research study was to provide current information about parent media use and their perceptions of their children and teens' (ages 8-18) media use. Data is from a nationally representative, probability-based, and cross-sectional online survey that was taken by parents of children and teens ages 8- to 18-years-old. Participants answered questions about their media use and their perception of their tweens or teens' media use. Media use included watching television, movies, and videos; playing video games; listening to music; using social media, reading either print or electronic books; and using digital devices for other purposes, such as browsing websites, playing games, or any other activity. We also asked about computer, smartphone, and tablet (and similar device) use for work purposes. Demographics include age, household income, parent education, race/ethnicity, gender, household size, and parent/caregiver employment status.
