Tweens, Teens and Mental Health When the coronavirus pandemic upended our lives, school, social activities and work were all pushed online almost overnight. It’s too early to know the lasting effects of this radical shift but this report from Common Sense Media explores and synthesizes the research on what’s known about the relationship between digital technology use and adolescent mental health — as well as outlines what parents, caregivers and stakeholders can do to help.
