RAISE project This project in collaboration with the ADAPT LAB leverages 2 weeks' worth of ecological momentary assessments (delivered directly to young adolescents' smart phones) to better understand the role of technology in youth development.
Findings show little evidence of longitudinal or daily linkages between adolescent technology use and mental health in Clinical Psychological Science: |
Text Message Content as a Window into Youth Alcohol, Substance Use, and Mental Health There is a wealth of information in text-based big data, but our ability to understand the contents is limited by existing tools. This projects seek to leverage the information in private messages to better understand young adult risk contexts. Our LIWC dictionary of "Alcohol Talk" is a newly-developed quantitative tool that gets at alcohol-related language and is predictive of same day drinking behaviors.
