The overall aim of the research project is to investigate screen habits among children (0-5 years) and their parents including nurses' perspective, and further parents' and nurses' experiences of using web-based healthcare advisory services within Swedish child health care (CHC).
The main research questions are:
What is the correlation between children's and their parents' screen use?
How does screen use differ among families with various socioeconomic backgrounds?
How well does the modified SCREEN-Q instrument measure screen use in Swedish conditions?
How do parents perceive their own and their children's screen use and their parental role?
What are parents' views on available advice and recommendations regarding children's screen use?
How do parents use and experience web-based advisory services within health care and Swedish child health care (CHC)?
How do CHC nurses address screen media-related issues within CHC?
What are CHC nurses' experiences with web-based advisory services?
Participants will:
* Complete a survey on screen habits and digital health service use (N ≈ 300) * Contribute to validation of a modified SCREEN-Q instrument * Take part in interviews (parents) and focus groups (child health nurses)

The study population for the cross-sectional (qualitative part of the project) consists of: -Parents or primary caregivers of children aged 0-5 years who are enrolled in Child Health Services in Sweden. Participants will be recruited from child health service units located in at least three different regions, including both urban and rural areas, to ensure diversity in geographic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Later part of the project includes parents for the same population for qulitative studies. Nurses working in these regions will also be included in the qualitative part of the study to provide professional perspectives on screen use and digital health services.
