Understanding Families’ Technology Supports During COVID-19

Are you a parent with a child or children between the ages of 3–13 years old? Join an interactive, paid nationwide study on family technology use during COVID-19. For up to 20 minutes a week, share your challenges, strategies and resources for balancing work-related changes, school, care-taking, and more. Collaborate with other families on designing solutions that help families build resilience in the future.

Please fill out this 10 minute survey (https://bit.ly/family_screener) and the research team will follow up with you next steps.
