What is Growing up with Media?
A longitudinal online survey of a representative national sample of 1,588 young people, ages 10 through 15 at Wave 1, who use the Internet regularly.
“Regular Internet use” was defined as using the Internet at least once in the past 6 months from any location.
Parents and guardians first completed a short online survey; approximately 5 minutes.
Parents were a member of the Harris Poll Online (HPOL) opt-in panel and residents of the U.S.
With parental consent, youth completed an online survey; approximately 25 minutes.
Youth sample was stratified based on age and sex.
Adult participants received $15 and youth a $20 gift certificate.
Data were collected across three time points: – Wave 1: August – September, 2006 – Wave 2: September – December, 2007 – Wave 3: August – December, 2008
Data were weighted to match the U.S. Population of adults with children between the ages of 10 and 15 years.
Propensity scoring was applied to adjust for the adult’s (i.e., recruitment target) propensity to be online and in HPOL.
