More about the report
This report takes an in-depth look at the role of social media in the lives of male, female, and non-binary youth in BC. Using data from the 2023 BC Adolescent Health Survey, completed by around 38,500 Grade 7-12 students in BC, it explores youth's experiences using social media and its links to their health and well-being, as well as the supports that may be helpful for young people needing help for their social media use. The report is available for download here.
A presentation of the report findings is available as a PowerPoint or you can watch a video of the presentation here.
