Adolescents spend an average of 70 minutes of their school days on their phones, according to research on American 13– to 18-year-olds published Monday by the journal JAMA.

That time is “literally during the school day when children and adolescents should be in classes” focused on learning and schoolwork, said Dr. Jason Nagata, lead author of the research letter and associate professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco.

And that’s just at school. Previous research shows that’s merely one slice of the 8 ½ hours teens spend daily on screen-based entertainment.

Young people sometimes say they need their phones to help with schoolwork, such as checking a calculator or looking up information online — but the apps they actually used at school “are highly unlikely to be related to school assignments,” Nagata said.

While most schools have policies restricting phone use, the study suggested teens are finding ways to evade the rules.
