So this would be things like giving up almost instantly on homework or chores or challenges or skills that require sustained attention and cognitive effort.

Now, there was research published in the Journal of Adolescent Health that consistently demonstrates that high frequency consumption of digital media, that it correlates directly with lower self-regulation and increased emotional reactivity.

And when a teen's baseline reward system is depleted, then daily life feels exhausting.

leading to severe mood instability whenever screens are removed.

It could have been 2026 and your family was sharing a meal together.

Research published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that teens who eat dinner with their families are... more time, five or more times.

Oh, if they do this five or more times per week.

So it can't just be once.

You put me onto a research article by Khan et al.

in the Journal of Adolescent Health, which is a longitudinal study along eight years where there's an identification that our psychosocial well-being in Australia of kids improves with sports participation.

A lot of this relates back to the concept of psychological safety.

As a coach, how do you build psychological safety to ensure that kids don't get sped out the side as a young age because they feel like they're not being included, that the sport doesn't cater for them, that they don't have the skills or the endurance to keep up with the other kids?

The guidance includes triage questions to steer strategy selection and dosing recommendations for each strategy.

Our next article is in the Journal of Adolescent Health and is titled, The Use of Oral Nicotine Pouches in Adolescents, Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis addresses the literature gap in public health implications of the prevalence, user characteristics, associated factors, and co-use with other substances of oral nicotine pouches, or ONPs, among adolescents.

Analysis showed that the ever use of ONPs was more prevalent than the current use.

This has considerable clinical and policy implications in settings where medical cannabis is legally available under a prescription model.

Next is an article in the Journal of Adolescent Health titled "Co-Use of Some Substances Associated With Higher Doses in Adolescents: Findings From the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study." Nicotine, alcohol, and cannabis are the most commonly used substances among adolescents.

Their use often co-occurs.

Using data from six waves of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, the patterns and doses of substance co-use in this vulnerable population was assessed.

Adolescent psychologist Lisa Damour has called it the single tech rule to implement if you only implement one, and the data backs it up.

A study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health tracked more than nine thousand adolescents for a year and found that bedtime screen use pred- predicted worse sleep outcomes twelve months later, including more sleep disturbances and less total sleep.

Simply having an internet-connected device in the bedroom, whether or not it was actively being used, was enough to predict the decline.

Two experts, a year of data, one overlapping answer.
