Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Limitations include use of some non-validated measures, reliance on self-report of technology use, and use of a national database to assess school status. In conclusion, our study shows that, although adolescents’ self-reported technology use increased from prior to the pandemic until Fall 2020 and was associated with poorer mental health, the relationship may be more nuanced than previously reported.
Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.
Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.
