Due heterogeneity results, narrative synthesis carried out. Results: Ten studies for analysis, comprising total 231,117 nine countries three continents.

Adverse effects linked increased screen time, poor sleep quality, multitasking. However, two found no significant association, highlighting influence contextual factors like socioeconomic status, parental mediation, content type.
