SWIPE: Swiss Study on Preschool Screen Exposure

SWIPE (SWIss study on Preschool screen Exposure) is a national project across Switzerland to assess the frequency and modality of the used of screen-based media in Swiss children from birth to five years of age. Several institutions across Switzerland are contributing to this project, including the FHNW, HETSL, HfH, PHTG, USI, UKBB, UPK Basel and ZHAW. We aim to run an online survey that will consist of a “core-assessment” (sociodemographic information and screen time of the oldest child in the age group of 0 to 5 in the family) as well as different spinoff modules. These modules are defined by the participating institutions, each with a separate research question investigating different aspects of infant and parental screen time.
