Screen‐based sedentary behaviors and internalizing symptoms across time among U.S. Hispanic adolescents
Open accessAbstract
Introduction: The pervasive use of technology has raised concerns about its association with adolescent mental health, including internalizing symptoms. Existing studies have not always had consistent findings. Longitudinal research with diverse subgroups is needed. Methods: This study examines the relationship between screen‐based sedentary (SBS) behaviors and internalizing symptoms among 370 Hispanic adolescents living in Miami, Florida‐ United States, who were followed for 2 ½ years and assessed at baseline, 6, 18 and 30 months post‐baseline between the years 2010 and 2014. Approximately 48% were girls, and 44% were foreign‐born, most of these youth being from Cuba. Mean age at baseline was 13.4 years, while at the last time‐point it was 15.9 years. Results: Findings show that girls had higher internalizing symptoms and different patterns of screen use compared to boys, including higher phone, email, and text use. SBS behaviors and internalizing symptoms cooccurred at each time‐point, and their trajectories were significantly related (r = 0.45, p < .001). Cross‐lagged panel analyses found that SBS behaviors were not associated with subsequent internalizing symptoms. Among girls, however, internalizing symptoms were associated with subsequent SBS behaviors during later adolescence, with internalizing symptoms at the 18‐month assessment (almost 15 years old) associated with subsequent SBS behaviors at the 30‐month assessment (almost 16 years old; β = 0.20, p < .01). Conclusions: Continued research and monitoring of internalizing symptoms and screen use among adolescents is important, especially among girls. This includes assessments that capture quantity, context, and content of screen time.

Smartphone and social media use has been associated with depression and internalizing symptoms.
“Smartphone and social media use has been associated with depression [23, 24, 26, 27] and internalizing symptoms [52].”
From The associations between screen time and mental health in adolescents: a systematic review (2023) · cites this paper as [52]
The Results report that screen-based sedentary behaviors and internalizing symptoms co-occurred and had related trajectories among U.S. Hispanic adolescents. But the Methods measured telephone use and a combined category of messaging, emailing, texting, and internet browsing—not smartphone or social media use specifically. The study also found no association between screen-based behaviors and subsequent internalizing symptoms. This citation is attached to the internalizing-symptoms portion of the sentence, not the depression portion. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThere was no association between total screen time and subsequent internalising symptoms.
“Two studies found no association between total screen time and subsequent internalising symptoms (Allen & Vella, 2015;Perrino et al., 2019).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
