Orientations in adolescent use of information and communication technology: A digital divide by sociodemographic background, educational career, and health

Abstract

There exists a digital divide among adolescents: orientation to computer use is more common in educated well-off families while digital gaming and mobile phone use accumulate at the opposite end of the spectrum. Poorest health was reported by mobile phone users. High social background and success at school signify better health, independently of the ways of using ICT.
