The KIM study is conducted approximately every two years by the Medienpädagogischer Forschungsverbund Südwest (mpfs). For this, around 1,200 children aged six to 13 and their main educators are being surveyed. The focus is on children’s thematic interests and their use of media, as well as the availability of media in the family.
