A freely available database from the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital in Boston offers an an added research tool for communication researchers interested in this area of study.
The searchable database opens a window on "the current state of knowledge regarding electronic and print media and effects that they may have, positive or negative, on the physical and mental health of children and adolescents."
It offers a useful supplement to BC-provided resources in this particular area of communication research.
In addition to keyword searching, the database allows you to select research based on age group, type of publication, and research method (content analysis; experimental study; qualitative study; meta-analysis; etc.).
Articles included in the database are based on recommendations from researchers, reference lists, table of contents alerts, and searching of databases (including many that are available at BC.) Each article citation includes a brief synopsis and a more detail research abstract.
Use the Quest and E-Journals links on the BC Libraries' home page to see if a particular article identified in this database is available to you.
