New media and young people's health: towards evidence-based practice [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Megan Lim (Principal investigator)

Brief description Mobile phones and online social media provide opportunities for delivering health promotion but also expose young people to new risks, like online pornography and sexting. I will investigate the impact of these media on young people’s health and wellbeing. I will conduct trials using new media to deliver and evaluate educational interventions targeting pornography, alcohol consumption, unplanned pregnancy, and obesity.
