Life In Media Survey
This is the first output related to the Life in Media Survey and is a study of N=1,510 11- to 13-year-olds in Florida, surveyed Nov.-Dec. 2024. It may be the most comprehensive and thorough survey of digital media use and wellness among young adolescents ever conducted. The study covers smartphone ownership and use, social media use, gaming, news consumption, streaming, cyberbullying, depression, sleep deprivation, anxiety, and other topics among a statewide representative sample in Florida. It was conducted by researchers at the OB体育官网 and the data were collected by The Harris Poll.
In the future, the Life in Media Survey will study the same 11- to 13-year-olds, tracking them for years into the future, to analyze digital media use and well-being over time.
