Abstract [en]

This thesis explores the adverse effects of screen time on children’s and young people’s health and well-being and evaluates how Nordic countries address this issue through national guidelines. With digital media becoming an integral part of daily life, concerns have grown about its impact on sleep, physical activity, development, and mental well-being. The study compares the official recommendations from seven Nordic regions: Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, and Åland. Using a qualitative methodology based on policy framing theory and social constructionism, the thesis applies the WPR (What’s the Problem Represented to be?) approach and comparative analysis to evaluate how guidelines frame the problem, assign responsibilities, and where they may fall short. Findings reveal a shared emphasis on parental responsibility, time limitations, and age-appropriate usage, though recommendations vary in depth and scope. Key gaps include limited focus on content, social media’s influence, and youth involvement in policymaking. The study concludes that more inclusive, evidence-based, and collaborative policymaking is essential to improve digital health outcomes for young people.
