About the Book

It is an extraordinary time for adolescents. Social media has a profound positive and negative influence on adolescents, drugs of abuse are readily available, social and sexual mores are changing, discussion about many aspects of racism is more prominent than ever, and surveys indicate that the prevalence of mental illness in teens is higher than any previous time. How Technology, Social Media, and Current Events Profoundly Affect Adolescents examines eighteen contemporary issues and their impact on the biological, psychological, and social domains in adolescents. Using research and clinical studies, this book reviews a host of issues that includes sleep, obesity, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance use, suicidality/self-harm, cyberbullying, racism/discrimination, LGBTQ, gender dysphoria, poverty, divorce, bereavement, mortality, and more. In addition to these issues, the book provides an analysis of current events and their impact on adolescents, including the COVID pandemic and war in Ukraine. With over 750 references cited, the book delivers a contemporary overview of major adolescent issues and how they relate to one another, including the impacts of war, technology, and the pandemic on youth. In addition, a broad overview of the major biopsychosocial issues facing adolescents is offered. There are multiple themes that include the importance of role modeling, monitoring, and talking with teens as well as the strong influence of parents, peers, and schools on adolescents.

Review :
With a thorough focus on the research, this book serves as a reference on special and wide-ranging topics affecting contemporary adolescents, particularly with regard to current events, technology, and social media. It is intended for practitioners, educators, and parents alike, though readers must be cautioned that some topics suffer from a dearth of extant research (like the relationship between sleep and internet use). This means that few conclusions can be reached, but this volume highlights the need for purposeful study specific to adolescents and their unique challenges. In the 2024 book How Technology, Social Media, and Current Events Profoundly Affect Adolescents, Mark A. Goldstein, MD, Chief Emeritus of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine at Mass General for Children, and MyrnaChandler Goldstein, MA, tackle salient contemporary issuesin adolescent mental health as well as biological and social problems. Clinicians interested in broadening their knowledge regarding adolescent health, stakeholders in the youth health space, and family would all benefit from the topics covered in this book. It provides insight into what problems plague adolescent health today.
