Teen Brain Online II: Understanding How Social Media Affects the Teen Brain
NCT06817993
This study is recruiting at 1 US site in 1 state, according to its ClinicalTrials.gov record last updated .
Summary
There has been much interest in the potential role of social media (SM) use in driving a current mental health crisis among teens, with a dire need for evidence that goes beyond self-report. One important avenue is to understand the role of the brain in driving the effects of SM use on emotional health and vice versa. However, there is almost no research addressing these questions, largely due to a lack of tasks that can probe the neural correlates of modern SM use.
