Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Screen Free Time with Friends Feasibility Trial is a study designed to inform development of a definitive trial. The feasibility trial aims to 1) examine the feasibility of an intervention aimed to limit recreational screen media use and promote more time with peers after school and during weekends among 10-11 year old children, 2) examine participant recruitment and retention rates, 3) examine the feasibility of the data collection plan and completeness of the compliance and outcome assessment, and 4) obtain baseline and follow-up data on the planned full trial primary outcome. The Screen Free Time with Friends Feasibility Trial will be conducted as a non-randomized single group feasibility trial including children, their parents and school and afterschool personal from 3rd grade school classes from different schools in the Region of Southern Denmark. The goal is to include a representative sample of children and parents in the participating 3rd grades, and thus there will be no individual level inclusion and exclusion criteria. A process evaluation and outcome measurements will be conducted to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, the data collection plan, and compliance. A baseline- and follow-up assessment will be carried out for some measurements, while others will be collected continuously during the intervention period.
