Abstract
This study describes young adult female college students’ perceptions of risky social media behaviors. A sample of 14 young adult females, aged 18–22 years and residing in an urban university, participated in 1 of 3 focus groups held in campus housing. Data analysis yielded 4 themes surrounding young adults’ engagement in risky behaviors associated with social media. Themes described the predominant culture, associated risk, and prevention. Important insights into young adult female college students’ thoughts on risky social media behaviors can be used by advanced practice nurses to inform preventive education for young college women.
