What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Technology and Media Use Rules | Increases in the number of positive responses to technology and media rules followed or maintained | 4 months after initial baseline | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Changes in sleep behavior | Changes in sleep as measured by the 8 item Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS). Participants will assess their sleep behaviors by answering each item with never, seldom, sometimes, frequently, or always. Items are scored from 0-4 (never= 0; seldom=1; sometimes=2; frequently=3; always=4) with a score above 16 indicating poor sleep behavior. | 2 and 4 months after initial baseline (Time 2 and 3) | 
| Changes in risk for Problematic Internet Use | Changes in problematic internet use symptoms as measured by the 18-item Problematic and Risky Internet Use Screening Scale (PRIUSS). For each item participants will select from never, rarely, sometimes, often, or very often in relation to their internet use over the last 6 months. Each option is coded with never equal to 1 and very often equal to 5. An overall composite score is calculated at the end, with an overall score of 25 indicating a risk for problematic internet use. | 2 and 4 months after initial baseline (Time 2 and 3) |
