A Systematic Review of Screen Time Behaviour among Indigenous Populations in North America
EF 2015-16
Résumé
Time spent on screen activities such as watching television, on computers or playing video games is associated with greater risks of diseases including obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Aboriginal people currently experience greater rates of these chronic conditions. This review evaluated and compiled all known published research reporting screen time among Aboriginal populations in Canada and the US. Overall, screen time was found to be similar among Aboriginal children/youth and adults. Aboriginal male children/youth reported greater time spent in screen activities compared to females. Overall screen time was similar among overweight and normal weight Aboriginal children/youth. In comparison to European North American children/youth, Aboriginal children/youth were reported to spend more time in overall screen activities. Screen time use among Aboriginal populations may be contributing to increased experiences of chronic diseases. Limited information regarding screen time among Aboriginal adults is currently available.

Abstract
Time spent on screen activities such as watching television, on computers or playing video games is associated with greater risks of diseases including obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Aboriginal people currently experience greater rates of these chronic conditions. This review evaluated and compiled all known published research reporting screen time among Aboriginal populations in Canada and the US. Overall, screen time was found to be similar among Aboriginal children/youth and adults. Aboriginal male children/youth reported greater time spent in screen activities compared to females. Overall screen time was similar among overweight and normal weight Aboriginal children/youth. In comparison to European North American children/youth, Aboriginal children/youth were reported to spend more time in overall screen activities. Screen time use among Aboriginal populations may be contributing to increased experiences of chronic diseases.
