Intervention model description: Track A will be our intervention group receiving the Family Media Use intervention Track B will serve as control group at Time 2, and then receive an awareness intervention at that time to compare that intervention at Time 3 to Track A at Time 2
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is test the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Family Media Use plan among teens and their parents through a randomized intervention and assess impact on outcomes including family media rules and health behavior outcomes.

Detailed description: For this study there will be three time points of data collection and participant contact by Qualtrics:

Time 1: Baseline

Participants (teen and parent dyads) will be randomized into one of two tracks:

Track A: Family Media Use Plan intervention Track B: Awareness intervention (delayed start intervention)

The track A group will complete a survey regarding technology rules, tech use, and health behaviors, as well as the Family Media Use Plan embedded into the survey. Track B group will only complete the baseline survey.

Time 2: Follow Up Survey: 4-6 weeks after baseline

Track A group will complete a follow-up survey similar to the baseline with additional follow-up questions around their use of the family media use plan.

The track B group will complete a similar survey and receive the Awareness Intervention, providing resources available regarding youth and media use .

Time 3: Follow Up Survey: 3-4 months after baseline

All participants will be asked to complete their corresponding tracks (track A or track B) survey again to understand use media use and health behaviors change over time.
