CDC Study on Video Game Violence. Any News?

  • 1.  CDC Study on Video Game Violence. Any News?

    Posted Apr 08, 2013 08:28 PM

    Has anyone seen any CDC studies on video game violence come out yet? I understand the 10 million dollars was coming out of the 2014 congressional budget.  Maybe it's a little early but I thought there might be some hint of what they've found so far.


    Rummaging around I found this article about people at the CDC playing video games but nothing else.  http://gamepolitics.com/2013/03/08/cdc-asks-plague-inc-maker-give-lecture-march


    If you come across any CDC research, studies or articles on video game violence-can you please post them here on ALA Connect?


    Thanks!
