About

This indicator is the percentage of parents or guardians of students in grades K to 5 who reported spending more than 2 hours per day of screen time.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades K-5: Parent/Guardian Perspective

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "3 hours or more" by the number of respondents who answered "none, less than 30 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 1 hour and 30 min, 2 hours or 3 hours or more" to the question: On most days (except for working hours) how much time do you spend: a) In front of a screen (for example, TV/movies, video games, computer, texting, email, surfing the Internet, FaceTime, Facebook, YouTube, other social media)

Notes

Due to the very low response rate for the 2025-2026 parent questionnaire, survey results may not be representative of the overall student and parent population. Therefore, results should not be used for planning or comparing to previous editions of the survey. Some schools will not receive their K to 5 results due to the extremely low number of parents who responded.
