New Canadian research has found that growing up with a TV in the bedroom may have a negative effect on children's physical and mental health in their teenage years.

Carried out by researchers at the Université de Montréal's School of Psychoeducation and the INRS-IAF, a research institute affiliated with the Université du Québec à Montréal, the study looked at data gathered from 1,859 Quebec children born between the spring of 1997 and the spring of 1998.
