Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey - Grades 6-12

Calculations

This indicator adds the responses to the following 6 individual questions: Question #1 'Playing games on an electronic device (not including moving or fitness games)? Weekends', question #2 'Watching TV, movies or videos (including YouTube and similar services) on any type of screen? Weekends', question #3 'Using electronic devices for other purposes like: social media, chatting, instant messaging, emailing or surfing the Internet? Weekends', question #4 'Playing games on an electronic device (not including moving or fitness games)? Weekend', question #5 'Watching TV, movies or videos (including YouTube and similar services) on any type of screen? Weekend' and question #6 'Using electronic devices for other purposes like: social media, chatting, instant messaging, emailing or surfing the Internet? Weekend'. The response options for these 6 individual questions are: '0. None at all, 1. About half an hour a day, 2. About 1 hour a day, 3. About 2 hours a day and 4. About 3 or more hours a day'. This indicator is calculated by summing up the 6 separate questions, after adjusting the response scale to a proportional scale of hours. The average sum of the total number of hours per week thus obtained is then divided by 7 to reflect a daily number of hours.
