Report, 2025
Social media use in youth has increased over the last decade, with most youth using social media regularly. There is a belief that the increase in social media use is responsible for the increase in mental health challenges in youth. However, the research suggests that the associations between social media use and mental health remain unclear, with mixed findings suggesting that the relationships are complex and interrelated. The purpose of this evidence summary is to summarize the evidence regarding potential impacts of social media use on youth mental health and well-being, and recommendations for protecting youth from potential related harms.
