If you don’t want your child to read a certain book, then don’t let them. Other parents may wish to make a different choice, and should be free to do so.

"Social media use in adolescents with and without mental health conditions" was one of our top-rated articles on @altmetric.com this past week. Read the OA article published in @nathumbehav.nature.com here: spklr.io/63323CrJX

Social media use in adolescents with and without mental health conditions - Nature Human Behaviour
Using a nationally representative UK sample of adolescents with clinical-level mental health symptoms, this Registered Report examined differences in social media use. The results suggest that adolescents with mental health conditions spent more time on social media and were less happy about online friends than adolescents without conditions.
