Study: Walking While Talking on Cell Phones Hazardous for Children

In tests that had 10- and 11-year-olds walk in a simulated “virtual” neighborhood researchers found that when the children talked on a cell phone as they traveled they paid less attention to traffic and were more likely to step into the path of a virtual car. The effects were seen regardless of how much experience a child had in using a cell phone or in being pedestrian according to Despina Stavrinos and colleagues at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “Cell phones are not necessarily bad for children to carry and use” the researchers write in the journal Pediatrics. “However” they add “our results suggest that just as drivers should limit cell phone use while driving pedestrians — and especially child pedestrians — should limit cell phone use while crossing streets. The study included 77 children who completed a dozen simulated road crossings half of them while talking on a cell phone to one of the research assistants. In general the researchers found the children paid less attention to traffic when they were on the cell phone and were more likely to find themselves in situations where in real life they would have been hit by a car or narrowly missed an accident.
