New report from the Digital Mental Health Group @MRC CBU on social media bans. As UK debate grows, we review current evidence, key gaps, and what’s coming next to inform decision-making. 🔗 www.repository.cam.ac.uk/items/d0b4c5...

Social Media Bans: Overview of Key Studies
This report reviews key studies and meta-analyses that are directly relevant to those interested in the quality of evidence underlying current policy proposals for an under-16s social media ban. It outlines a review of keystone studies, and is not an exhaustive evaluation of the potential policy options available. This report also focuses specifically on mental health and well-being outcomes, as this is our team’s area of expertise. As such, other developmental or health outcomes that may be affected by social media restrictions are not reviewed here.

@lukasgunschera.com joined The Naked Scientists to unpack whether social media is truly “addictive” as a US jury finds Meta & YouTube partly responsible for harm. Key point: problematic use is real, but evidence gaps remain. 🎧 www.linkedin.com/posts/digita...
