ABOUT THE "TEEN SMARTPHONE ADDICTION NATIONAL SURVEY/2018"

​The "Teen Smartphone Addiction National Survey/2018" was conducted by Screen Education, EMI Research Solutions, and Stark Statistical Consulting. 

EMI Research Solutions recruited respondents through the EMI partner network, and conducted a 9-minute online survey between April 18-25, 2018.

The sample consists of 1,017 13- to 18-year-olds.  This sample size is sufficient for all statistics using the full sample to have margins of error of 3% or less.  All 1,017 respondents included in this statistical analysis completed the entire survey, so this criteria applies to all questions reported here

The organizations that partnered on the "Teen Smartphone Addiction National Survey/2018" are concerned about the toll smartphone addiction is taking on our children.  Therefore, in an act of public service each organization donated its time, services, and resources to introduce valuable new insights into the national conversation about smartphone addiction.
