Abstract
Abstract United States adolescents spend an unprecedented amount of time using digital technology to access the Internet and engage with social media. There is concerned that this continuous connectivity could increase their mental health symptoms, especially for at-risk adolescents. A new study has reported that on days that at-risk adolescents used technology more, they experienced more conduct problems and higher attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms compared to days when they used digital technologies less. However, the study also found that on days when adolescents spent more time using digital technologies they were less likely to report symptoms of depression and anxiety. Further research is needed to assess whether changing technology use can alter mental health symptoms and long-term mental health outcomes.
