About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 6 to 12 who reported using an electronic device before bed every night. This indicator is based on the Canadian 24 Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth.

Source

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "every night" by the number of respondents who answered "never, 1 night a week, 2 nights a week, 3 nights a week, 4 nights a week, 5 nights a week, 6 nights a week or every night" to the question: How often do you use an electronic device in your bedroom in the last hour before going to sleep?
