Supporting Youth and Families in the Digital Age (Archived)

Dr. Jensen summarizes the research base on adolescent technology engagement and mental health, with an emphasis on specific features and affordances of different types of technology engagement rather than “screen time.” She covers effective media parenting strategies (e.g., limit setting, monitoring, co-use), tailored to developmental stage/age. Finally, Dr. Jensen discusses how clinicians can help clients and their families maximize potential benefits and minimize potential harms in online environments.
