Linda Charmaraman, Senior Research Scientist; Director, Youth, Media & Wellbeing Research Lab, Social Media and Adolescent Mental Health: How Wellesley College Students Address Research, Practice, and Policy Implications

This webinar will discuss recent health advisories highlighting the need to address growing research on positive and negative uses of social media for adolescent mental health. These advisories come from the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the U.S. Surgeon General's office. Dr. Charmaraman will give an overview of how the Youth, Media, & Wellbeing Research Lab at the Wellesley Centers for Women has conducted studies about adolescents' social technology use (e.g., use of social media sites, gaming, smartphones). These studies also provide meaningful research and action experiences to Wellesley College students. From generating research questions and hypotheses to writing grant proposals and collecting data, students understand how research gets off the ground. Through data analysis, interpretation of findings, and disseminating via articles, blogs, podcasts, and Instagram, students gain an insider perspective of how research collaborations and translation of that research to the public can benefit the world they live in.
