This federal Project Grant award of $703,457, awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), will fund a longitudinal study to investigate the relationship between adolescent social media use and substance use.

The primary goals are to: 1) Determine longitudinal associations and sensitive developmental windows linking social media use with substance use, 2) Identify mechanisms connecting social media use and substance use, and 3) Identify media parenting rules and monitoring that can protect against substance use. The 5-year study will leverage data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, a large national cohort of 11,875 adolescents followed annually. The research team, led by the University of California, San Francisco, will use advanced longitudinal and structural equation modeling methods to analyze the ABCD data. The findings will be disseminated to provide evidence-based guidance for adolescents, parents, clinicians, and policymakers on using social media to reduce early substance use.
