These changes are particularly relevant for children with borderline intellectual functioning, in whom unmanaged screen time may exacerbate developmental challenges. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a parent-mediated screen time usage module (PM-STUM) in reducing screen time and improving physical activity levels, sleep quality, and behavioral outcomes in children aged 4-12 years with borderline IQ.</p><p><p><b>Methods:</b> A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 60 children diagnosed with borderline IQ, recruited from a child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient department at a tertiary care hospital in North India. Participants were randomly allocated to intervention and control groups. The PM-STUM was delivered online to parents through 3 interactive sessions, each lasting 50-60 minutes, addressing the adverse effects of excessive screen time, general guidelines for regulation, technological management, and behavioral strategies for moderating screen time. Screen time was assessed using a 24-hour screen time diary, sleep quality was measured via the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, behavioral outcomes were evaluated using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and physical activity was assessed using a standardized physical activity questionnaire. Data were collected between July 15 and September 15, 2023, with outcome assessment conducted 6 weeks postintervention.</p><p><p><b>Results:</b> Repeated-measures analysis of variance indicated significant reductions in children's screen time (<i>P</i> <.05, η<sup>2</sup><i><sub>P</sub></i>=0.4), improvements in physical activity (<i>P</i> <.05, η<sup>2</sup><i><sub>P</sub></i>=0.2), enhancements in sleep quality (<i>P</i> <.05, η<sup>2</sup><i><sub>P</sub></i>=0.3), and reductions in behavioral difficulties (<i>P</i> <.05, η<sup>2</sup><i><sub>P</sub></i>=0.2) in the intervention group compared to controls.</p><p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> The PM-STUM demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing screen time and improving associated behavioral and health outcomes among children with borderline IQ. These findings underscore the importance of parent-mediated interventions in managing screen time and fostering healthier behavioral patterns in vulnerable pediatric populations.</p><p><p><b>Trial Registry:</b> Clinical Trials Registry, India: CTRI/2023/08/056180.</p><p><p><i>Prim Care Companion CNS Disord</i> <i>2026;28(4):25m04135</i>.</p><p><p>\u0000 <i>Author affiliations are listed at the end of this article.</i>\u0000 </p>","PeriodicalId":22814,"journal":{"name":"The primary care companion for CNS disorders","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148621446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
