Time Spent on Social Media and the Risk of Substance Use Among US Adolescents
The present study is among the first to quantify the association between daily time spent on social media and the risk of using substances, such as alcohol, cannabis, tobacco products, and illicit drugs in the US adolescent cohort. Social media could be leveraged for targeted interventions and public health initiatives aimed at reducing substance use in this population.
