The University of Wisconsin and Facebook are partnering to study the relationship between teen technology use and their mental and social health. The research involving the U-W School of Medicine and Health is part of a one-million-dollar Facebook investment by working with academics, experts and partners across the industry to further explore this topic. Professor Megan Moreno of the Social Media and Adolescent Health Research Team is going to lead the project this fall. Moreno said the research will answer foundational and unanswered questions regarding youth, technology, and well-being and will provide guidelines for healthy family digital use.
