An Oxford University study of nearly 12,000 children showed no correlation between screen time (including on social media) and mental well-being.

Meanwhile, a study published in JAMA Pediatrics last month found that "moderate social media use" in fourth- through 12th-graders "was associated with the best well-being outcomes, while both no use and highest use were associated with poorer well-being."”
