Highlights
Cell phone use among middle and high school students is ubiquitous, starts at younger ages, and is negatively associated with children’s academic and social-emotional outcomes.1 Parents and educators are concerned about the association of cell phone use with child well-being.2,3 Despite these concerns, there are limited rigorous data on school cell phone use policies and practices
We focused on public schools because they serve more than 91% of children
Phone use during lunch and recess was not restricted by 71 middle schools (33%) and 10 high schools (69%)
