Spectra Discovery

For this study, we want to learn if wearable light sensors (children wear fake glasses and a shirt clip) can accurately measure if children are looking at electronic screens (e.g. tablet, smartphone, tv). Within a 3-week period, parents would bring their child for two in-person visits at our OWL Lab located in Chapel Hill, NC. The lab visits will be approximately 2 hours long. Parents and children will take a nutrition assessment, and children will participate in 8 activities and be provided a snack. Prior to the visit, parents will be asked to fill out a survey online. Parent and child compensation is provided for those who participate.
