Abstract Introduction The primary aim was to examine longitudinal associations between changes in screen-time and mental health outcomes among adolescents. Methods Adolescents (N = 322, 65.5% females, mean age = 14.4 ± 0.6 years) reported screen-time and mental health at two time points over a school year. Multi-level linear regression analyses were conducted after adjusting for covariates. Results Changes in total recreational screen-time (β = −0.09 p = 0.048) and tablet/mobile phone use (β = −0.18, p Conclusion Changes in recreational screen-time were associated with changes in a range of mental health outcomes.
