Work led by @JulianaAcostaL & with @DanaMcMakin out now in @SleepHealthEiC. We developed a new scale and model for how parenting in the hour before bed (nighttime parenting) is especially important for youth sleep. Next paper will be on the intervention!

Social media doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition for teens, Dr. @JacquelineNesi tells CNBC. "How can we maximize the benefits of social media that we see for teens while minimizing the risks that we know are present?"

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Although talking about your mental health can be difficult, the fact is, about 80 percent of the population will experience a mental health condition at some point in their lives.

So exciting to see one of our amazing researcher’s @SamMeisel discussing teen cannabis use with the @nytimes

There's been a lot of talk recently about the teen mental health crisis, and whether social media plays a role.

But a few things have been missing from the conversation...

[Jacqueline Nesi, PhD @JacquelineNesi]

This week on Techno Sapiens...

The science of screens and sleep, and simple strategies to start sleeping better today.

Does social media use cause mental health issues in teens?

It's complicated...

[Jacqueline Nesi, PhD @JacquelineNesi]

Should you let your child watch YouTube while they're getting a shot?

A 2020 meta-analysis suggests that using "digital distraction" (videos, VR, games) during medical procedures can reduce kids' pain and distress by 10 to 20%.

[Jacqueline Nesi, PhD @JacquelineNesi]

Fascinating new research from @CommonSense on teens and pornography:

73% of teens have been exposed to porn.

Average age of first exposure is 12.

79% of teen viewers say they've learned "how to have sex" from porn.

Only 43% have talked to a parent or trusted adult about it.
