Hidden harm online: One in four vulnerable youth faced abuse, few reported it

A new study from researchers at the Child Mind Institute finds that negative online experiences are common among children and adolescents with mental health and neurodev....

Ecstatic to see the RBC paper out!! MAJOR congrats to all-star first-author @goliashf. RBC has been an amazing collab between #pennlinc & @childmindinst, led with the inimitable @MilhamMichael. So many thx to the many many many collabs that made RBC happen.

Do developmental variations in functional connectivity really mean what we think? Byeon, @TingsterX, et al. suggest they may actually reflect shifts in how brain activity spreads. Intriguing implications for measuring and understanding brain development! https://t.co/h9aeAwNWBu

Recently, Meta (which owns Facebook and Instagram) introduced significant changes to its content moderation policies to allow users to suggest that identifying as LGBTQ+ is a mental illness. This decision poses a potential threat to the well-being of LGBTQ+ teens, who are already vulnerable to discrimination and harassment. And it starkly contrasts with decades of medical and scientific consensus — namely, that being part of the LGBTQ+ community is not a mental disorder.

At the Child Mind Institute, we are committed to supporting children’s mental health and well-being, including that of LGBTQ+ youth. We also recognize how profoundly social media can shape young people’s sense of identity and self-esteem. Here are some of the possible implications of Meta’s new policy as well as guidance for parents who want to ensure a safe and supportive environment for their teens: https://t.co/RUGZOqleNv

Functional connectivity estimates vary significantly across different fMRI preprocessing pipelines. Due to these variations, using seemingly similar minimal preprocessing does not ensure consistency. @xin_hui_li @nathaliaesper @g_kiar @MilhamMichael
