New study finds link between pre-teen use of social media and depression

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have found a link between use of social media by pre-teens and future depression. The study, published this week in the American Medical Association's journal JAMA, said more time spent on social media "may contribute to increased depressive symptoms over time." Ali Rogin speaks with lead researcher Dr. Jason Nagata to learn more.

A new study highlighted on PBS NewsHour has found a significant association between pre-teens' use of social media and an increased risk of depression during their teenage years. The research, which followed a group of children from the age of 9 to 15, suggests that those who used social media for at least three hours a day at the start of the study were at a higher risk of developing depression by the time they reached their mid-teens. The study's lead author, Dr. Jason Nagata from the University of California, San Francisco, emphasized the importance of monitoring and possibly limiting social media use among young children to mitigate mental health risks. This research adds to the growing body of evidence linking social media use with mental health issues in youth, prompting calls for more awareness and action from parents, educators, and policymakers.
