APA's recent advisory on social media use in children under age 13: An example of dissemination science at its best
Abstract
Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. As its influence grows, so too have concerns about the effect on mental health, particularly for children. This newsletter and the commentaries from month to month have tackled this subject with varying viewpoints. Last month we discussed the recent statistics on mental health in teen girls and how social media may contribute. Nevertheless, our goal has been to present a balanced viewpoint that avoids demonizing social media.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
