From: The development of a questionnaire to assess leisure time screen-based media use and its proximal correlates in children (SCREENS-Q)

Construct validity

Comparing time (minutes) obtained by question 9 to time obtained by question 13 (at the same timepoint)

Spearman’s correlation: Rho (95%CI)

On a typical weekday

0.63 (0.54–0.72)

On a typical weekend-day

0.59 (0.49–0.69)

Time summed for a whole weeka

0.66 (0.57–0.75)

Mean time/dayb

0.66 (0.57–0.75)

  1. p-value for all correlations < 0.0001
  2. a (minutes on a typical weekday × 5) + (minutes on a typical weekend day × 2)
  3. b ((minutes on a typical weekday × 5) + (minutes on a typical weekend day × 2)/7)
