Researchers have found that interventions designed to reduce the time children spend viewing screens, playing video games, and using computers result in declines in which of the following health risks? 
  1. Obesity.
  2. Infectious disease.
  3. Bipolar disorder.
  4. Nutritional deficiencies.
Explanation
Correct Response: A. Studies have found that children in screen time reduction intervention groups had statistically significant decreases in body mass index. B is incorrect because, while a link via general improvements in physical fitness is possible, interventional studies have not been conducted to demonstrate any causal relationship. C is incorrect because bipolar disorder is a complex psychological diagnosis experienced by a subset of the population without obvious mechanistic or studied causal links to screen time (C). D is incorrect because improvements in healthy lifestyle choices may include, but don’t necessarily include, a more nutritious diet (D).
