Teens, screens and mental health

“New data from the WHO Regional Office for Europe reveals a sharp rise in problematic social media use among adolescents, with rates increasing from 7% in 2018 to 11% in 2022.”

“More than 1 in 10 adolescents (11%) showed signs of problematic social media behaviour, struggling to control their use and experiencing negative consequences.”

अध्ययनों में क्या पाया गया

Peer-reviewed studies about social media in general, not about X alone. Each is one study: an association in a sample, not proof of cause. Studies do not all agree, and we show one that found the link is small.

JAMA PEDIATRICS · 2023-02-01 · PEER-REVIEWED STUDY

Association of Habitual Checking Behaviors on Social Media With Longitudinal Functional Brain Development

“The results of this cohort study suggest that social media checking behaviors in early adolescence may be associated with changes in the brain's sensitivity to social rewards and punishments.”

What kind of evidence: One peer-reviewed study of 169 adolescents with brain scans over three years. An association, not proof of cause.

The association between adolescent well-being and digital technology use

“The association we find between digital technology use and adolescent well-being is negative but small, explaining at most 0.4% of the variation in well-being.”

What kind of evidence: One peer-reviewed analysis of 355,358 adolescents. It found the link is small: studies do not all agree.
