Mon Jan 18 16:33:06 GMT 2010
Journal of Children and Media
Special Issue: Children, Media, and Health
Guest Editors:
Dina L.G. Borzekowski, EdD, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public
Health, (dborzeko /at/ jhsph.edu)
Michael Rich, MD, MPH, Center on Media and Child Health, Children's
Hospital Boston, (michael.rich /at/ childrens.harvard.edu)
Media, in various formats, can influence the healthy development of
children and adolescents in both positive and negative ways. This
special issue of the Journal of Children and Media will add to the
inter-disciplinary literature by providing well-designed studies and
theoretical papers exploring whether and how media use affects the
physical, mental, and behavioral health of young people.
We invite contributions to a special issue on Children, Media, and
Health from a wide range of disciplines, perspectives, theoretical,
and methodological approaches. The guest editors are particularly
interested in compiling quality papers that can inform risk
assessment, intervention design, and positive media applications
aimed at a diversity of populations, technologies and content.
Examples of potential papers might be:
- Examining how young people use, multitask with, and are
exposed to various media and how these uses/exposures influence
their lifestyles, health, education, and development.
- Reporting evaluated media literacy programs and other
interventions which have been demonstrated to limit or reduce
negative health effects from media use.
- Examining whether and how broadcast, print, or
interactive media can educate, empower, and reduce risky behaviors
among children and youth.
- Considering whether use of electronic games, such as the
Wii, can support the physical development of toddlers and fitness of
children and youth.
- Sharing interactive media interventions shown to improve
quality of life among adolescents with chronic or psychiatric conditions.
- Studying whether interactive technology such as texting
can improve health education and communication among adolescents and
their health care providers.
- Analyzing how public health messages and entertainment
media can educate and activate improved health practices in
different cultures.
