In total, 322 adolescents (mean age = 14.4 ± 0.6 years) from eight secondary schools in New South Wales, Australia were recruited. The S4HM intervention was guided by Self-Determination Theory and included: an interactive seminar, eHealth messaging, a behavioral contract and parental newsletters. The primary outcome was recreational screen-time. Secondary outcomes included mental health (i.e., well-being, psychological distress, self-perceptions), objectively measured physical activity, and body mass index (BMI). Outcome analyses were conducted using linear mixed models and mediation was examined using a product-of-coefficients test. Results: At post-intervention, significant reductions in screen-time were observed in both groups, with a greater reduction observed in the intervention group (− 50 min/day versus − 29 min, p < 0.05 for both). However, the adjusted difference in change between groups was not statistically significant (mean = − 21.3 min/day, p = 0.255). There were no significant intervention effects for mental health outcomes, physical activity or BMI. Significant mediation effects for autonomous motivation were found. Conclusions: Participants in both the S4HM intervention and control groups significantly reduced their screen-time, with no group-by-time effects. Enhancing autonomous motivation might be a useful intervention target for trials aimed at reducing adolescents' recreational screen-time.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:06:47 AEST ]]> Rationale and study protocol for the 'Active Teen Leaders Avoiding Screen-time' (ATLAS) group randomized controlled trial: an obesity prevention intervention for adolescent boys from schools in low-income communities https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18907 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:25:21 AEST ]]> Physical activity and physical self-concept in youth: systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18850 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:33:45 AEST ]]> Video game genre preference, physical activity and screen-time in adolescent boys from low-income communities https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18557 Wed 04 Sep 2019 11:10:50 AEST ]]> Longitudinal associations between changes in screen-time and mental health outcomes in adolescents https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31353 Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:49:26 AEST ]]> A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Benefits of School-Based, Peer-Led Interventions for Leaders https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50437 Tue 25 Jul 2023 19:15:59 AEST ]]> Cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness and mental health in older adolescents: a multi-level cross-sectional analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37626 Thu 11 Apr 2024 09:51:35 AEST ]]> Domain-specific physical activity and mental health: a meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31355 Mon 23 Sep 2019 11:56:32 AEST ]]>
