Development of social support strategies and a smartphone-based intervention
This project investigates how social media affects adolescents emotionally and how social support can reduce negative impacts. Together with adolescents and Pro Juventute, we will launch a video-based social media campaign and distribute materials for educators. A co-developed smartphone intervention will deliver real-time support.
