Doctors advised to document "media history" during annual check-ups

According to an AskDrSears.com report, the American Academy of Pediatrics is now advising doctors to administer a "media history" review during annual check-ups on school-age children. The concern is that children are being exposed to violence in video games, which has been shown to increase aggressive social behavior. Many pediatricians rank media violence alongside smoking and cancer as a serious public health concern.
