Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Changes in physical activity	Reported physical activity as measured by the 3 item Physical Activity Scale. Response options range from never (1) to 4 times or more a week (5) for each item. Higher scores indicating greater physical activity.	2 and 4 months after initial baseline (Time 2 and 3)
Primary	Technology and Media Use Rules	Increases in the number of positive responses to technology and media rules followed or maintained	4 months after initial baseline
Secondary	Changes in sleep behavior	Changes in sleep as measured by the 8 item Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale (PDSS). Participants will assess their sleep behaviors by answering each item with "never", "seldom", "sometimes", "frequently", or "always". Items are scored from 0-4 (never= 0; seldom=1; sometimes=2; frequently=3; always=4) with a score above 16 indicating poor sleep behavior.	2 and 4 months after initial baseline (Time 2 and 3)
Secondary	Changes in risk for Problematic Internet Use	Changes in problematic internet use symptoms as measured by the 18-item Problematic and Risky Internet Use Screening Scale (PRIUSS). For each item participants will select from "never", "rarely", "sometimes", "often", or "very often" in relation to their internet use over the last 6 months. Each option is coded with "never" equal to 1 and "very often" equal to 5. An overall composite score is calculated at the end, with an overall score of 25 indicating a risk for problematic internet use.	2 and 4 months after initial baseline (Time 2 and 3)
