Public health researchers are increasingly interested in the potential relationships between social media (SM) use, well-being, and health behavior among adolescents. However, most research has assessed daily SM time via self-report survey questions, despite a lack of clarity around the accuracy of such reports given the current tendency of youth t...

... Additional studies have examined the validity of selfreported SMU across various platforms. For example, in a large sample of college students, Boyle et al. (2022) examined the accuracy of self-reported SMU across various platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram [Mobile apps]) against a commercially available time management app. Results indicated variable under-and overestimation of SMU across apps, with newer apps (e.g., Snapchat, Instagram) evidencing greater overestimation than older apps (e.g., Facebook). ...

... For example, adolescents exposed to the highest quartile of movie alcohol exposure were at increased risk for every drinking milestone, including sipping (7% increased risk for every extra hour of movie alcohol exposure), initiation (risk increased by 49% to 53% over 2 years), consuming a full alcoholic beverage (increased risk by 6% for each hour of movie alcohol exposure), weekly drinking (2.4 times more likely), heavy episodic drinking (8% additional risk per hour of movie alcohol exposure), and binge drinking (1.7 times more likely; Bigman et al., 2020;Jackson et al., 2018;Waylen et al., 2015). Complementing this, exposure to alcohol in popular media can limit the effectiveness of alcohol interventions (Boyle et al., 2021). ...

... General use of Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat, three of the most popular SM platforms among college-aged young adults (Villanti et al., 2017;Alhabash and Ma, 2017;Perrin and Anderson, 2019), are each associated with drinking (Boyle et al., 2018;Ceballos et al., 2018;Foster et al., 2020). Using more than one platform (Ceballos et al., 2018) and having a Finstagram account (an Instagram account characterized by tight privacy settings that is only visible to a small and carefully curated group of friends; LaBrie et al., 2021b) are also associated with measures of drinking risk. The primary pathway by which general SM use increases alcohol risk among young adults is exposure to alcoholrelated content (Moreno & Whitehill, 2014;Vannucci et al., 2020). ...
