Adolescent internet use, social integration, and depressive symptoms: Analysis from a longitudinal cohort survey

Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics May 13, 2018

Strong C, et al. - Using a large nationwide cohort study and the latent growth model (LGM) method, experts gauged the tie-up between adolescent leisure-time Internet use and social integration in the school context. They also intended to determine how this association affected later depressive symptoms among adolescents in Taiwan. It was determined that school social integration was initially related to decreased leisure-time Internet use among adolescents. Findings unveiled that the growth of Internet use with time was not explainable by school social integration, displaying adverse impacts on depression. It was deduced that reinforcing adolescents' bonding to school possibly prevented the initial leisure-time Internet use. Health care providers were recommended to consider their patients' social networks and mental well-being while advising on adolescent Internet use.
