In recent years, the issue of media multitasking has sparked a broad discussion about the potential impact on children and youth and has raised concerns among non-profits about how best to engage young people with social marketing campaigns.

To help advance understanding about the issues that surround media multitasking, the Kaiser Family Foundation hosted a forum.

Forum participants included executives from MTV and eMarketer, a leading market research firm, along with one of the nation’s top cognitive neuroscientists, and experts on media use among young people.
