| CMCH Synopsis: |
A group of teens in Finland were surveyed about their use of tobacco, alcohol and cell phones. Girls tended to drink more alcohol and smoke more than boys. For both boys and girls, cell phone use and smoking and drinking tended to go together. The amount of spending money they had was also related to how much they smoked and drank. The authors discuss the fact that culture could have affected the results, but it seems like unhealthy behaviors are related to cell phone use in adolescents. © Center on Media and Child Health
