Research from University of Galway suggests that the impact of social media on the health and well-being of teenagers is less than is often feared. 📲

While the study recognises that time spent on social media is linked to a range of health outcomes, the analysis reveals that its influence is relatively modest and smaller than what we assume.

The analysis of surveys of teenagers also showed that the impact of social media was relatively small when compared to other social and environmental factors in young people’s lives. 💬

Professor Eoin Whelan, who led the research at University of Galway’s J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics, said the study highlights the limitations of attributing teenage mental health and well-being primarily to social media use.
