Abstract
This study investigated whether some factors regarding especially pregnancy and post-pregnancy and 0–36-month-old infants’ exposure to digital screens played a role in the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) scores of 4–11-year-old children. The cross-sectional research method was used. The sample consisted of the mothers of 2835 (48.2%) daughters and 3042 (51.8%) sons. The children of the mothers in the sample were between 4 and 11 years old. The mothers were asked to fill in the personal information form about their children and the Conners Parent Rating Scale to determine the ADHD score of the child. The main results revealed associations between ADHD and digital screen exposure at 0–36 months. In conclusion, exposure to digital screen—whether much or little—for the purposes of feeding, silencing, distraction, language acquisition, and digital gaming might pose a serious risk for ADHD.
