Jenny Radesky<\/strong>, assistant professor of developmental behavioral pediatrics in Michigan Medicine, is concerned about the lack awareness most children have surrounding online advertising and persuasive content<\/a>. Radesky said ads are reaching children in new ways, including YouTube, social media, and in-app purchases. These new outreach methods encourage continued media consumption due to design “tricks.” She presented her research at the 2019 American Academy of Pediatrics Annual Conference and Exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
