SUMMARY:Webinar 75 – Online Experiences and Adolescent Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Screen-based devices play a central role in adolescents’ daily lives, serving purposes such as education, entertainment, social interactions, and creativity. While public concern about the impact of screen use on adolescent mental health has grown, evidence of a direct link remains unclear. The association between screen use and mental health is complex, influenced by many factors. This webinar will report on new data about this association based on an analysis of the data provided by Australian adolescents currently enrolled in the Black Dog Institute’s Future Proofing Study. These findings will be framed within the broader context of screen use research and offer recommendations for both societal and individual changes to help adolescents benefit from online experiences while reducing potential harms.\nDr Lyndsay Brown has worked for five years as a Research Officer on the Future Proofing Study, now the largest and most comprehensive longitudinal study of adolescent mental health in Australia. Between 2019 and 2021, thousands of Year 8 students across Australia were recruited for this six-year study and each year they completed confidential questionnaires about their mental health, identity, experiences, and well-being. The team analyses this data to identify the risk and protective factors associated with adolescent mental health and the early interventoins that could help adolescents thrive. Lyndsay’s work spans school engagement, data collection, research, public presentations, and community outreach.\nThis webinar is hosted by Dr Kathy O’Grady.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Learning Outcomes:\n\nSummarise current key findings about adolescents’ daily screen use.\nIdentity the nuanced links between adolescent mental health and online experiences.\nIdentify adolescent sub-groups more susceptible to the negative effects of being online.\nHighlight key individual and systematic changes needed to help adolescents safely navigate the digital world.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This webinar is designed for GPs, GP registrars, psychologists, and allied mental health practitioners, or any other health professional with an interest in improving outcomes for patients with mental health conditions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]RACGP CPD Accredited Activity – 1 CPD hour (Educational Activities)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
