Respondents to the Year 7 Health Survey were asked to report how often they usually eat dinner while using an electronic device.
In 2021, the majority (65.8%) of respondents to the Year 7 Health Survey reported that they never or rarely eat dinner while using an electronic device. 13.9% reported eating dinner 1-2 times per week while using an electronic device, 6.7% reported 3-4 times, 4.0% reported 5-6 times and 9.6% reported eating dinner while using an electronic device every day.
There was no significant difference by sex of those who eat or never or rarely eat dinner while using an electronic device in 2021.
For the purpose of reporting the Year 7 Health Survey data on HealthStats, if the 95% confidence intervals of the estimates do not overlap, they are considered to be significantly different.
Persons includes male, female, other and refused sex respondents and may not always add to the sum of male and female.
