Recently Center Co-Medical Director Dr. Jenny Radesky spoke with NBC News about a new study that shows taking a break from your smartphone improves overall health. This study on adults also informs the importance of setting boundaries for phone use with tweens & teens too! Here are a few tips to help you take a break and set boundaries. 1. Use apps to turn off "smartphone" phone features. This is great for people who prefer the all or nothing approach versus small steps. 2. Turn Off Notifications. 3. Look at your screentime output. Which apps do you use the most? Do you think the time spent was meaningful or absent scrolling? 4. Set focus modes and downtime settings for certain times of day. 5. Get physical distance from your phone! Place it in a bag, drawer or other room.

Check out new research from Common Sense Media about teens, tech and AI and their lack of trust in online content. What are some immediate steps tech companies should take to prioritize youth safety?
Our newest research on teens, tech, and AI finds that young people don’t fully trust tech to care about their mental health and well-being over profits, and nearly half of teens lack confidence in tech companies' ability to responsibly use AI. Some key findings: -About six in 10 teens say that major technology companies cannot be trusted to care about youth mental health and well-being (64%) or to prioritize people's safety even if it hurts profits (62%). -Over half of teens surveyed report that they do not trust major technology companies to make ethical and responsible design decisions (53%), keep teens' personal information secure (52%), or be inclusive and fair when considering the needs of different users (51%). -Nearly half (47%) of teens have little to no trust that tech companies will make responsible decisions about how they use AI in their products. -Nearly four in 10 teens (39%) who have used generative AI for schoolwork have found inaccuracies in the AI output. -74% of teens support privacy safeguards and transparency measures for AI systems and 73% want AI-generated content to be clearly labeled or watermarked. This research highlights the need for stronger trust and digital literacy efforts from tech companies and lawmakers to support educators, parents, and youth themselves.
