New report from the Digital Mental Health Group @MRC CBU on social media bans.
As UK debate grows, we review current evidence, key gaps, and what’s coming next to inform decision-making.

This report reviews key studies and meta-analyses that are directly relevant to those interested in the quality of evidence underlying current policy proposals for an under-16s social media ban. It outlines a review of keystone studies, and is not an exhaustive evaluation of the potential policy options available. This report also focuses specifically on mental health and well-being outcomes, as this is our team’s area of expertise. As such, other developmental or health outcomes that may be affected by social media restrictions are not reviewed here.
