Associations Between Social Media Use and Anxiety and Depression Among Older Adults : Cross-Sectional Study

Associations Between Social Media Use and Anxiety and Depression Among Older Adults : Cross-Sectional Study

Social media use was represented using 2 variables: time spent on social media and social media addiction. Time spent on social media was measured using the self-reported amount of time spent on social media each day, categorized into 4 groups: ≤1 hour, 2 to 3 hours, 4 to 5 hours, and ≥6 hours. Social media addiction was assessed using the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, with a cutoff score of 19. A score above 19 indicates addiction to social media [26].

Parental Internet-Specific Rules and the Onset of Adolescents’ Problematic Social Media Use: Prospective Study Testing Potential Moderators

Parental Internet-Specific Rules and the Onset of Adolescents’ Problematic Social Media Use: Prospective Study Testing Potential Moderators

Problematic social media use is commonly assessed based on the presence of addiction symptoms such as loss of control and withdrawal symptoms when not online. Using the Social Media Disorder (SMD) Scale [7], researchers classify participants as problematic social media users when they endorse at least 6 of the 9 symptoms [8]. According to this criterion, prevalence rates range from 3.2% to 16.4% across different countries [9].

Association Between Alcohol Consumption and Psoriasis: Exploratory Analysis of Crowdsourced Web Search Data in Sweden

Conversely, an individual with an existing addiction might not be affected by the seasonal variability in drinking habits. Other seasonal or environmental factors should also be considered, such as weather, which may influence both alcohol consumption and psoriasis severity independently, potentially confounding the observed associations.

Short, Animated Storytelling Video to Reduce Addiction Stigma in 13,500 Participants Across Multiple Countries Through an Online Approach: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Stigma toward people with addiction is a well-documented phenomenon that dramatically impacts recovery by discouraging help-seeking behavior, isolating those affected, and increasing the likelihood of shame-related comorbidities such as anxiety and depression [1]. Similar to stigma in other domains, stigma toward people with addiction involves prejudice and discrimination, leading to compounding sequelae such as avoidance, self-stigmatization, and failure to seek treatment [2].

Challenging the Continued Usefulness of Social Media Recruitment for Surveys of Hidden Populations of People Who Use Opioids

Challenging the Continued Usefulness of Social Media Recruitment for Surveys of Hidden Populations of People Who Use Opioids

Social media platforms have been shown to be effective for recruitment in studies of populations reporting addiction, mental health problems, and other hard-to-reach populations [11,12,14,15,17-19]. In addition, while some racial or ethnic minority groups and people of lower income have had less access to internet services historically [20], studies have also shown that social media recruitment effectively engages low-socioeconomic status and racial and ethnic minority participants [16,21-23].

Demographics and Use of an Addiction Helpline for Concerned Significant Others: Observational Study

Demographics and Use of an Addiction Helpline for Concerned Significant Others: Observational Study

Historically, the addiction field has considered the family to be the cause of or an “enabler” of their LO’s addiction [10,11]. A growing body of evidence shows, however, that when families are provided with support and information, they are, in turn, able to effectively support their LO, and this is associated with positive outcomes for both the CSO and the LO.
