Roberta Vasconcellos

Roberta Vasconcellos is a lead researcher at the Australian Catholic University, known for her work on the impact of screen use on children. Her recent meta-analysis examined 117 studies involving 292,000 children globally, revealing strong links between video gaming and the development of social and emotional problems in school-aged children. Vasconcellos advocates for awareness around the risks of screen time, particularly as children grow older and are more likely to exceed recommended usage guidelines.
