“…Most studies had a focus on different negative aspects of mental health, as evident from the frequently used terms in Figures 2, 3. The most studied aspect was depression, with 23 (29%) studies examining the relationship between social media use and depressive symptoms (Ferguson et al, 2014;Neira and Barber, 2014;O'Connor et al, 2014;Banjanin et al, 2015;Richards et al, 2015;Spears et al, 2015;Tseng and Yang, 2015;Fahy et al, 2016;Banyai et al, 2017;Brunborg et al, 2017;Colder Carras et al, 2017;Larm et al, 2017;Nesi et al, 2017a;Salmela-Aro et al, 2017;Fredrick and Demaray, 2018;Houghton et al, 2018;Niu et al, 2018;Twenge et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018;Wartberg et al, 2018). Twenty of the included studies focused on different aspects of good mental health, such as well-being, happiness, or quality of life (Best et al, 2014(Best et al, , 2015Bourgeois et al, 2014;Ferguson et al, 2014;Cross et al, 2015;Koo et al, 2015;Richards et al, 2015;Spears et al, 2015;Fahy et al, 2016;Foerster and Roosli, 2017;Przybylski and Bowes, 2017;Yan et al, 2017;Booker et al, 2018;de Lenne et al, 2018;Erfani and Abedin, 2018;…”

Social Media Use and Mental Health and Well-Being Among Adolescents – A Scoping Review

et al. 2020

Introduction: Social media has become an integrated part of daily life, with an estimated 3 billion social media users worldwide. Adolescents and young adults are the most active users of social media. Research on social media has grown rapidly, with the potential association of social media use and mental health and well-being becoming a polarized and much-studied subject. The current body of knowledge on this theme is complex and difficult-to-follow. The current paper presents a scoping review of the published literature in the research field of social media use and its association with mental health and well-being among adolescents. Methods and Analysis: First, relevant databases were searched for eligible studies with a vast range of relevant search terms for social media use and mental health and well-being over the past five years. Identified studies were screened thoroughly and included or excluded based on prior established criteria. Data from the included studies were extracted and summarized according to the previously published study protocol. Results: Among the 79 studies that met our inclusion criteria, the vast majority (94%) were quantitative, with a cross-sectional design (57%) being the most common study design. Several studies focused on different aspects of mental health, with depression (29%) being the most studied aspect. Almost half of the included studies focused on use of non-specified social network sites (43%). Of specified social media, Facebook (39%) was the most studied social network site. The most used approach to measuring social media use was frequency and duration (56%). Participants of both genders were included in most studies (92%) but seldom examined as an explanatory variable. 77% of the included studies had social media use as the independent variable. Conclusion: The findings from the current scoping review revealed that about 3/4 of the included studies focused on social media and some aspect of pathology. Focus on the potential association between social media use and positive outcomes seems to be rarer in the current literature. Amongst the included studies, few separated between different forms of (inter)actions on social media, which are likely to be differentially associated with mental health and well-being outcomes.

BackgroundMental ill‐health and substance use bear significant public health burden on young people. Prevention is key. Trauma‐informed approaches to prevention of mental ill‐health and substance use demonstrate significant promise, yet it is unclear how well existing approaches work for young people targeting mental ill‐health and substance use. This review aimed to assess the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of trauma‐informed mental ill‐health and/or substance use prevention programs for young people.MethodsWe searched the PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library reference databases for peer‐reviewed studies of trauma‐informed mental ill‐health and/or substance use prevention programs for young people published between 2013 and 2022. Studies in any language were included and reference lists of included articles were scanned for additional studies of relevance.ResultsIn total, 30 studies were included in this review, comprising five randomized controlled trials (RCTs), seven non‐RCTs, 10 quasi‐experimental designs, and eight qualitative studies. Among the 30 studies, 27 unique trauma‐informed prevention interventions were detailed. Eighteen studies reported statistically significant decreases in mental ill‐health, and two studies reported significant decreases in substance use outcomes among participants, up to 6 months following the interventions. Most preventative interventions with statistically significant effects were selective (rather than universal or indicated) in their approach (n = 10, 55%). Broad acceptability and feasibility of trauma‐informed prevention programs was observed among studies reporting this information though most quantitative studies were at high risk of bias and/or did not include a control group, whilst qualitative studies tended to report research conducted without a priori research aims.DiscussionThis review synthesizes for the first‐time evidence on the effectiveness (or efficacy), feasibility, and acceptability of trauma‐informed mental ill‐health and/or substance use programs for young people, especially for those exposed to traumatic or adverse experiences. While there are promising efficacy outcomes, further research conducting rigorous, well‐powered RCTs is required for large‐scale evaluation and scaling of the potential preventative benefits of such programs.
