Helping Youth Thrive Online


The report explains why the early adolescent years—about age 10 to 13—are a critical window for the impacts of digital tech, and the kinds of research-informed standards that could amplify the benefits and reduce the risks of these impacts on kids. The authors offer specific suggestions to ensure that digital tech like social media:

  • Supports healthy development and wellbeing

  • Keeps young users safe

  • Incorporates and advances the best available research

  • Provides access to learning for all young adolescents

The report was written by leading researchers studying the effects of technology on young people. The Center for the Developing Adolescent has the full report and short summaries available.
