This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) provides $720,350 to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine to study the impact of state policies restricting adolescents' access to social media on their exposure to unhealthy food and beverage advertising. The research will enroll adolescents aged 13-17 in Texas and Louisiana, comparing their social media advertising exposure to a matched sample in states without similar policies. The study aims to determine if the new state policies reduce adolescents' online exposure to unhealthy food and beverage ads, with a focus on understanding differential impacts for lower-income and minority youth. The award period runs from July 2024 through May 2029.
