This Project Grant award of $696,606.00 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will fund a 5-year study on smartphone-based location tracking (SLT) used by parents to monitor their teenage children. The study aims to: (1) characterize how and why parents use SLT, (2) estimate the impacts of SLT on teen adjustment and family functioning, (3) evaluate developmental factors affecting SLT use and impacts, and (4) identify contextual factors affecting SLT use and impacts. The project will recruit 980 families with teenagers in 9th-11th grades across the U.S. and collect survey and objective SLT usage data over an 18-month period. Findings will provide guidance to parents and clinicians on effectively using SLT while minimizing negative effects, accounting for developmental and contextual factors.
