Advancing Knowledge for a Healthier Digital Future
The Digital Wellness Lab conducts long-form academic research to deepen our understanding of how digital media and technology impact youth health, development, and daily life. These studies build on key questions raised in our Pulse Surveys and through collaboration with educators, policymakers, clinicians, industry leaders, and importantly, young people.
By investigating topics such as social gaming, adolescent social media use, problematic interactive media use, and emerging AI technologies, we aim to provide actionable insights that promote safer, healthier digital spaces. Centering young people’s perspectives ensures that our findings drive meaningful change—informing best practices for families, clinicians, educators, and technology developers alike.
Funding disclosure: The work of the Digital Wellness Lab is made possible through the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporate supporters.
