Abstract
All data in the report is presented separately for tweens (8- to
12-year-olds) and teens (13- to 18-year-olds), and the 2021
results are examined for variations by gender, race/ethnicity,
and family income. The 2019 and 2021 waves of the survey
used separate cross-sectional samples of respondents, with
the text and format of each question staying as consistent as
possible (allowing for some modest changes to reflect the
changing media environment).
As far as we know, this is the only nationally representative
survey tracking media use patterns among a truly random
sample of 8- to 18-year-olds in the United States. Our goal is
to provide data on the large trends and patterns of media
usage among young people to inform the work of content
creators, policymakers, educators, health care providers,
parents, caregivers, and media effects researchers.
