Brandy King is the librarian at the Center on Media and Child Health (CMCH),
a nonprofit group out of Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical
School, and Harvard School of Public Health. Our mission is to advance scientific
research,
clinical interventions, and education on the subject of media and their
effects, positive and negative, on the physical and mental health of children
and adolescents. We are currently creating what will be the first comprehensive
and interdisciplinary searchable online database of citations on media and
the health risks they pose to children. Users can navigate through our database
either as a parent or a researcher, with advanced searching options available
to researchers. Check out our new website at www.cmch.tv !
