A recent study shows that youth with mental health conditions report spending significantly more time on social media than youth without mental health conditions.

The research published in Nature Human Behavior also found youth with internalizing conditions like depression and anxiety feel more negative impacts and a lack of control over their social media use than youth with externalizing conditions like ADHD or conduct disorder: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-025-02134-4

Findings like these can inform clinical practice guidelines for patient consultations and interventions. Get help with mental health screening and diagnosis from CPAN, and discuss ways youth and families can mitigate social media harms and boost important protective factors offline. No call is too small, we take them all:

This ***deAwareness Month, Texas PeriPAN can help your practice integrate su***de prevention protocols for pregnant and postpartum women.

Maternal mental health conditions are common, and we want you to feel comfortable approaching mental and behavioral health screening much like your existing workflows for other comorbidities such as gestational diabetes, and we can help you determine when to refer a patient for specialized care.

Our PeriPAN Perinatal Mental Health Toolkit has resources for obstetric clinicians, patients, and their families to help them engage in safety planning and know the signs an emergency intervention may be needed: https://tcmhcc.utsystem.edu/peripan-toolkit/

(Note: CPAN/PeriPAN do not provide emergency care. Make sure your patients and their families know to call or text 988 during a mental health crisis. For moms, the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is also free, confidential, and available 24/7 in English and Spanish by calling or texting 1-833-TLC-MAMA.)

This ***dePreventionMonth, call Texas CPAN at 888-901-2726 or text your local HRI for help with integrating su***de prevention protocols into your pediatric practice.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends an uncomplicated approach, much like your existing workflows for referring out to specialized care: “Most pediatric primary care providers (P*Ps) are not pulmonologists; however, P*Ps regularly treat youth with asthma and support them in managing symptoms. If a P*P encounters a patient with a complicated case of asthma, they refer that patient to a pulmonologist.”
