High Consumption Of Ads Is Damaging Health Of US Youth
An average child or teenager in the US sees more than 3,000 advertisements a day, and
leading doctors suggest this is linked to increasing obesity, poor nutrition and abuse of
alcohol and cigarettes in US youth. They call for increasing controls on youth advertising
exposure and more media literacy to help kids understand how ads affect their consumer
behaviour and consequently their health.
You can see the full policy statement in the December issue of Pediatrics, the Official
Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
In the US children as young as 6 months are exposed to ads intended to engender trust in
brands. Advertising is creeping into all walks of life, especially in schools in the US.
Schools do deals with beverage companies to place soda and fizzy drinks machines in school
corridors, and TV programmes, such as Channel One, are piped directly into 25 per cent of
US schools showing 2 minutes of advertising for every 10 minutes of educational
programming. In Europe on the other hand, legislation and practice to protect children
from ads is on the increase. Greece has banned toy advertising before 10 pm on television,
and Norway does not allow any advertising targeted at children under 12.
It is not all gloom however, for instance the US food industry is starting to take a step
in the right direction. In May this year a national beverage distributor agreed to
restrict the sale and availability of sodas in schools and promote water, unsweetened juice
and low fat milk to younger children.
The AAP cites 5 specific areas of concern: tobacco, alcohol, drug, food and sex
advertising. For each area they mention research that suggests links between high
advertising exposure and negative health impacts. For instance tests show that young
children ask for more junk food (food that is high in calories and low nutritional value)
than usual when they have watched junk food commercials. And they also point to the fact
that advertising healthy foods leads to healthier eating in children as young as 6.
The AAP statement points to increasing exposure also being a result of the growing number
of different kinds of media that youngsters are exposed to every day, from movies to tv,
internet and print media. Techniques are also becoming more sophisticated, with methods
such as product placement in movies and internet tracking of individual consumer behaviour.
This leading body of pediatricians invites professional colleagues and parents to take
steps to ensure that children are not overly exposed to advertising. They recommend
parents, pediatricians and public health groups learn more about the methods employed by
advertisers to target children and unite to put pressure on Congress to tighten up
legislation, introduce bans, and support projects such as public TV.
