Social Media and Youth Mental Health: Scoping Review of Platform and Policy Recommendations
J. Chhabra, V. Pilkington, et al.
Public concern over soaring social media use and youth mental ill‑health has outpaced evidence — and solutions. This scoping review synthesizes recommendations for governments and platforms to protect 12–25‑year‑olds, grouping guidance into five themes: legislating accountability; transparency; collaboration; safety by design; and restricting access. Research conducted by Jasleen Chhabra, Vita Pilkington, Ruben Benakovic, Michael James Wilson, Louise La Sala, and Zac Seidler.
