PEDIATRICS Vol. 108 No. 5 November 2001, pp. 1222-1226
The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes
exposure to violence in media, including television, movies, music, and
video games, as a significant risk to the health of children and
adolescents. Extensive research evidence indicates that media violence
can contribute to aggressive behavior, desensitization to violence, nightmares, and fear of being harmed. Pediatricians should assess their
patients' level of media exposure and intervene on media-related health risks. Pediatricians and other child health care providers can
advocate for a safer media environment for children by encouraging media literacy, more thoughtful and proactive use of media by children
and their parents, more responsible portrayal of violence by media
producers, and more useful and effective media ratings.
